Civil Geometry & Data Acquisition Tools

Cooper:  Do you have Geometry, Roundabouts and Civil Accudraw available?  These three and Data Acquisition get loaded by way of the GEOPAK.cfg file.  I assume you guys use a Nebraska workspace which would be first thing I would check.  When incorporated the new Geopak install into your workspace the necessary files for Data Acquisition may not have gotten properly configured.

In Geopak.CFG, there are several news lines added which load the new tools including Data Acquisition.  It might be possibe that when using custom workspaces or user workspacxes that these could get missed.  The lines in question are in two groups.  The upper group:

%include $(CommonProgramFiles)/Bentley Shared/Civil Platform/08.11.07/Bentley Civil Assembly Location MS - Required.2.0.cfg
%include $(CommonProgramFiles)/Bentley Shared/Civil Platform/08.11.07/Bentley CivilPlatform.cfg
%include $(CommonProgramFiles)/Bentley Shared/MX/08.11.07/Bentley Civil MX Assemblies MS.cfg
%include $(CommonProgramFiles)/Bentley Shared/RoadwayDesign/08.11.07/Bentley Civil Roadway Design MS.cfg

All of these lines must be called for proper operation of GEOPAK and the new tools. 

And the lower group:

%include $(BC_COMMONFILES)Bentley Civil Accudraw.cfg
%include $(BC_COMMONFILES)Bentley Civil DA.cfg
%include $(BC_COMMONFILES)Bentley Civil Geometry.cfg
%include $(BC_COMMONFILES)Bentley Civil GPS.cfg
%include $(BC_COMMONFILES)Bentley Civil Roundabouts.cfg

Notice in the lower group Bentley Civil DA is called.  First thing to check is make sure this is being called in your installations.

Next notice that the lower group is "including" CFG files stored elsewhere.  Make sure these CFG file exist at the location defined.

Right now we are running:

 MS 8.11.07.180

Geopak 8.11.07.227

Cooper,

What version of MicroStation are you running?

Thanks,

In theory, when you install GEOPAK it should add the Data Aquisition task menu that was shown in the image in this thread. Also, the MicroStation>Tools menu should now include Data Aquisition as an available toolset.

Thats good to know.  How does one access the Data Acquisition tools when running Geopak?

You will not be able to see these tools until one of the Bentley InRoads products are installed on your computer.  These options are InRoads options that allow the user to work dynamically with MicroStation.

Thanks,

Andrea

I was wondering if anyone else was having issues with seeing these tool sets in the MicroStation>Tools drop down?  In the help file, there are screen shots showing these tools listed in the Tools drop down.  I don't see them when I bring up the Tools drop down.  Below is a screen shot from the help file.
