Export station offset & elevation data from civil 3D


Export station offset & elevation data from civil 3D 






To export station and offset data from AutoCAD Civil 3D using Harazd 3D Lisp, follow these steps. The article provides an overview of how to set up, utilize, and manage station-offset data export efficiently.
1. Understand Station-Offset Data in Civil 3D
Station-offset data in Civil 3D defines the relationship between a baseline (alignment) and other points in the design.

Station: The distance along the alignment from a defined start points
 Offset: The perpendicular distance from the alignment to the point in question (positive on the right, negative on the left).
2. What is Harazd 3D Lisp?
Harazd 3D Lisp is a custom script designed for AutoCAD-based platforms, often used to simplify repetitive Civil 3D tasks such as extracting data points, generating reports, or automating geometry calculations.
3. Setting Up Harazd 3D Lisp
Install the Lisp File:

Download and place the .lsp file in a directory accessible to Civil 3D.
Add the file to your AutoCAD Support File Search Path:
Type OPTIONS in the command line.
Go to the Files tab and add the directory under Support File Search Path.

Load the Lisp Routine:

Use the command APPLOAD.
Locate and load the Harazd 3D Lisp file.
4. Using Harazd 3D Lisp to Export Station-Offset Data

Prepare the Civil 3D File:

Ensure you have an alignment defined in your drawing.
Identify the points or features whose station-offset data you wish to export.

Run the Lisp Command:

Type the Lisp routine's main command ( HARAZD3D) in the command line. Check the documentation for the exact command provided by Harazd 3D Lisp.
Follow the prompts, which typically include selecting:
The alignment.
Points or objects to export.

Set Output Format:

The Lisp routine may allow configuration of the output (e.g., CSV, TXT, etc.).
Choose the desired format and specify a file name and location.

Extract Data:

Once you confirm, the Lisp processes the station and offset data and saves it to the specified file.
5. Example Workflow
Let’s assume you have points to extract:
Start the command: Type HARAZD3d (or the designated command).

Select alignment: Click on the alignment in your drawing.
Select points or objects: Use the selection options provided by the Lisp.
Confirm output location: Choose the directory and file name for the export.
Finish: The Lisp will generate a file with station-offset data.
6. Verify Exported Data
Open the exported file in your preferred software (e.g., Excel, Notepad) to ensure the data is formatted and complete. Common formats include:

Station | Offset | Point ID (if applicable)
Station | Offset | Elevation (optional)
7. Troubleshooting

Lisp Not Running: Ensure it’s loaded properly (APPLOAD) and confirm no syntax errors in the Lisp script.
Incorrect Output: Double-check alignment settings and the points/objects selected for export.
8. Tips for Efficient Use

Automate repetitive tasks by running the Lisp in batch mode (if supported).
Combine this with Civil 3D’s built-in reporting tools for a robust workflow.
Regularly back up your .lsp file and any customization you apply.

Calculating Areas of Multiple Objects in AutoCAD

Image
Lisp for Calculating Areas of Multiple Objects in AutoCAD ALisp routine can simplify repetitive tasks like calculating the areas of multiple objects (polylines, circles, etc.) in AutoCAD. Below is a guide to creating a Lisp routine that extracts and lists the areas of selected objects. 1. Understanding the Task - AutoCAD objects such asclosed polylines,circles, andregions have an area property. - The Lisp routine will:   1. Allow users to select multiple objects.   2. Extract the area of each selected object.   3. Display or export the calculated areas (e.g., to the command line or a file) 2. Sample Lisp Code   Here is an example Lisp code for calculating the areas of multiple objects:   https://mega.nz/folder/uEwwWYJJ#SqSlsWbhlihseMZO4vL-Fg   lisp (defun c:MultiArea (/ obj area total areas fileName)   ;; Initialize variables   (setq total 0)   (setq areas nil)     ;; Prompt the user to select objects ...

Coordinate Lisp in AutoCAD

Image
  Using a Coordinate Lisp in AutoCAD   A coordinate Lisp routine in AutoCAD is a powerful tool to streamline workflows involving point coordinates. It allows users to automate the extraction, input, or manipulation of coordinates in a drawing, saving time and reducing errors. This article explains the concept, usage, and implementation of a coordinate Lisp in AutoCAD. 1. What is a Coordinate Lisp? A coordinate Lisp routine is a custom script that interacts with points or objects in AutoCAD. It typically handles tasks such as: - Extracting point coordinates from selected objects (e.g., polylines, points, circles). - Inserting points or blocks at specific coordinates. - Exporting coordinates to a file (e.g., CSV, TXT). - Importing coordinates from external files. 2. Benefits of Using Coordinate Lisp Time-saving: Automates repetitive tasks. Accuracy: Reduces manual errors in coordinate handling. Versatility: Handles various coordinate-related workflows, ...

AutoCAD Lisp to Print Multiple Sheets at Once (TPL)

  (TPL) AutoCAD Lisp to Print Multiple Sheets at Once The video titled "(TPL) AutoCAD Lisp to Print Multiple Sheets at Once" demonstrates how to use a custom AutoCAD Lisp routine to efficiently print multiple drawing sheets from model space in a single operation. The routine, referred to as TPL , automates the process of selecting multiple sheet layouts and sending them to a printer or PDF plotter, reducing manual effort and saving time. Key Points from the Video: Selection of Sheets : The routine allows users to specify sheet boundaries or areas within the model space. These areas are predefined for each layout that needs to be printed. Custom Automation : The Lisp script automates the plot command, iterating through the selected layouts and sending them to the designated printer or plotter settings. Users can configure settings like paper size, plot styles, and output formats (e.g., PDF). Eff...
