InRoads Crash - Importing LandXML from AutoCAD 2010

(Filed on behalf of Bentley User.)

 

User has some LandXML files (as attached) but InRoads will be crashed while LandXML file is imported.

Any idea?

LandXML is coming from AutoDesk Civil 3D 2010

 

03_xml.zip
  • In taking a look at the XML file you will see what has been output by AutoCAD C3D is not valid. The clue is in the error as it provides line and position.

    File 'or-1m.xml' is not even a valid LandXML file and has been manually edited.

    However the other supplied files are valid formats but with other errors. Specifically it looks like a non English OS issue with output  including invalid / unsupported characters.

    <Project name="D:\?…å®®\?–å¡«?ŸçŸ³?¹è?算工作æ?1020601.dwg"></Project>

    <Surface name="des1m" desc="?è¿°">

    Perhaps we can trap and possibly ignore in some cases so it does not crash but for now I would suggest not manually editing LandXML file unless proficient with XML formatting and for  non English OS's that there is potentially a limitation for element naming with unsupported characters.

    Regards

  • User tried to export the LandXML version 1.2 in Civil3D 2010.

    Then, the problem is fixed.

    It can be imported to InRoads V8i SELECTseries 2.
