AUTODESK® CIVIL 3D® 2019.3 UPDATE RELEASE NOTES
|
New Features
Find out about the new and improved features in the Autodesk Civil 3D 2019.3 Update release
Primary Issues Resolved by This Update
The following issues have been resolved in the Autodesk Civil 3D 2019.3 Update:
Autodesk Subassembly Composer
• Improved performance when opening rail subassembly PKT files that use cant.
• Fixed an issue in which the superelevation of subassemblies created with the Subassembly Composer failed to be incorporated into a corridor.
Corridors
• Fixed an issue that caused the outer corners of corridors to not clean up correctly where there were tangent-tangent intersections in the baseline.
• Added the ability to generate slope stake reports for data referenced corridors.
Data Shortcuts
• Fixed an issue in which a data referenced corridor was not reported as being out of date after the associated data referenced alignment was deleted.
• Improved performance when synchronizing data shortcut references.
• Fixed an issue that prevented creating corridor data shortcut references.
• Fixed an issue in which data referenced alignments were created as the wrong alignment type when creating data referenced corridors that had dependent non-centerline alignments.
• Fixed an issue in which nested alignment data shortcut references appeared to be broken after data shortcuts were deleted.
• Fixed an issue in which nested data referenced alignments and corridors reported being out of date.
• Added a warning to instances when the source of a corridor data shortcut reference needs to be rebuilt.
• Fixed an issue in which pipes lost their connections to structures when synchronizing data referenced pipe networks after locking layer 0.
General
• Fixed an issue where in some environments, applying customization files caused Civil 3D to close unexpectedly on startup.
• Updated a zlib component to correct a vulnerability issue.
Mapcheck Analysis
• Improved stability when performing a mapcheck analysis on a parcel with curved edges.
Labels
• Corrected an annotation issue along parcel segments created from alignments.
LandXML
• Fixed an issue that caused alignments to be added to sites when they were imported from a LandXML file.
Mapcheck Analysis
• Improved stability when performing a mapcheck analysis on a parcel with curved edges.
Pipe Networks
• Fixed an issue in which pipes and structures used the units specified in the pipe network feature settings instead of the units specified in the pipe and structure feature settings.
• Fixed an issue in which a pipe centerline that was referenced into a drawing using an xref was displayed using the color of the xref layer.
Points
• Fixed an issue in which the point data in a .csv file parsed incorrectly during the point import process when the data contained user defined properties.
• Fixed an issue that caused properties specified on the Query Builder tab of the Point Group Properties dialog box to change after attaching an xref.
• Fixed a graphical issue that could occur near the cursor when creating points.
Profiles
• Fixed an issue in which saving a drawing that has crossing objects in a profile view reported an error on the command line.
Quantity Takeoff
• Fixed a pay item formula volume calculation issue in QTO Manager.
Surfaces
• Fixed an issue where the volume of a volume surface shown in a surface elevation legend table did not match the volume shown in the surface properties.
• Fixed an issue where the volume of a volume surface shown in a surface elevation legend table was incorrect when the elevation analysis contained a range with a negative elevation value.
Survey
• Fixed an issue in which survey figure data imported incompletely.
• Fixed an issue where accessing survey figure properties in model space from within a locked layout viewport would cause the viewport scale to change.
Traverse Editor
• Fixed an issue in which the syntax for an angle was not accepted as a valid input format in the Traverse Editor. For example, 3..12°34’56” would be reported as invalid.
• Fixed an issue in which an angle with a degree symbol was treated as a bearing instead of a turned angle.
• Fixed an issue in which docking or undocking the Traverse Editor would open the Unsaved Changes dialog box.
• Improved functionality of the Traverse Editor by retaining the calculated distance from point to point when saving a balanced TRV2 file.
• Improved the numerical precision in the TRV2 file to match the Traverse Editor and Drawing Settings.
• Removed trailing zeros and added numerical delimiters for clarity when displaying traverse adjustment results.
• Fixed scaling issues in the Traverse Editor user interface when using 4K displays.
• Fixed a precision issue when closure summaries were calculated using a vector from the point of closure to the last calculated point in the adjusted traverse.
• Added scale factor and rotation angle values to the report for a Grant Line adjustment.

DWG COMPARE IN CIVIL 3D 2020
|
By Ron Couillard
The DWG Compare tool is an AutoCAD-based function that was originally introduced with the AutoCAD 2019 release. It was a great new piece of functionality given to us to be able to compare two different versions of a drawing file to be able to see what the differences are between them. Items that are different in the currently open drawing show up in green, and objects that are different in the comparison drawing show up in red. Unchanged objects show up in gray. Of course, all of these colors can be changed as desired.
So why am I blogging about an AutoCAD-based feature that came out in the 2019 version? In the video below, I will show how to use it, what has changed for 2020, and, especially for people using Civil 3D, what you can and cannot do with it.

INFRASTRUCTURE TUESDAY: THE PROS AND CONS OF PRESSURE PIPES IN CIVIL 3D
|
|
|
|
|
September 3, 2019 @ 11:00pm PST
This 45 minute webinar will take a quick tour through the Pressure Network functionality available in Civil 3D and discuss the Pros and Cons of the network creation workflow.
|
|
| |
|
|
Specifically, we will look at the creation tools available for pressure networks when using the Pipes & Bends and Pipes Only options, or when creating the network from an object. Next, we will look at adding fittings and appurtenances to the network and then adding the network to a profile view. Finally, we will discuss labeling and how it relates to the Pressure Network Catalog.
