• Re: GPK Drainage - Show water and sewer crossings in profile?

    Dan, With many, many thanks to Michael Gilham, it was discovered that the water/sewer dgn must be referenced into slot 1 of the drainage file for the crossings to be plotted correclty on the drainage profiles. Such a simple fix but certainly…
  • Instrument heights missing in PowerCivil V8i

    I have just upgraded to PowerCivil for Americas V8i V 08.11.05.37 from PowerSurvey XM (as it is no longer supported). I am in the process of creating a new dataset by importing raw survey data from a Trimble DC file and have noticed that the instrument…

    Thanks Derricke, but unfortunately I still have not had any response.
  • Re: License for PowerCivil for Americas V8i V 08.11.05.39

    Phil, I have contacted our Account Manager several times regarding this issue and unfortunately the best they are able to offer us is a temporary evaluation license to GEOPAK Site, which of course requires the full version of MicroStation V8i,…
  • Geopak V8i and Project Manager

    We've run into a situation with V8i Geopak. If we create a new project using Project Manager we can not open the newly created GPK file with Project Manager. We can open it with COGO. If we created a new GPK with COGO we still can not open it with Project…

    Where's my stationing in the 2nd alignment at the red circle. These appear to be real darn similiar.
  • Re: GPK Drainage - Show water and sewer crossings in profile?

    Dan, I think we might be getting somewhere. When I open a water profile, GEOPAK thinks for a short while (presumably generating elevations along the plan view element), but then all the options in the profile box revert back to some sort of default…
  • GEOPAK - XS not catching symbology changes

    I noticed that in V8i, if I swithch from my xs file to my pattern line file and change the color of a pattern line, and also change my input file to only run xs on this one different colored pattern line, GEOPAK won't find the pattern line unless I exit…
  • Geopak V8i - DTM Tools Quick Profile - Changes?

  • Re: GEOPAK - Customize Task List??

    I answeredmy own question by accident. You have to open the GeopakTaskNav.dgnlib found in ...geopak\v8.11\bin folder. Then you can customize as you normally would. I changed the entire Cadd Tools Task list to be identical to the Drawing Task list. Now…

  • Re: GPK Drainage - Show water and sewer crossings in profile?

    Dan, I found the culprit. There were some lines in my custom configuration that were pointing to wsp files when they should have been pointing to ppf files. GPKHYD_DEFAULT_PROFPREFWATER = f:/home/pw/cad/geopak_v8i/preference/mfld_wat.ppf…
  • Re: GEOPAK - Customize Task List??

    Thanks for the information, Robert. I actually had done what you said about editing a copy of the original dgnlib, but I didn't know where to call it via a configuarion file. Now I know. I have stored our customized dgnlib on our server so that everyone…
  • PowerCivil locks up on new dataset creation
