You should rename this profile in Prospector.īack at the Profile Layout Tools toolbar, verify that the current profile is your new profile. Civil 3D has now made you a new profile with the default name of Surface (1). In the Copy Profile Data dialog box, verify that the Destination profile option is set to Create New Profile, then click OK. In the Profile Layout Tools toolbar, click Copy Profile. Now, right-click on the profile and go to Edit Profile Geometry. This will "unlock" the profile and allow us to copy the geometry.
Scroll over until you see the Update Mode column. Select your EG profile, right-click and pick Profile Properties. I tried to copy my existing profile but the whole toolbar is greyed out when I try to edit geometry.Ī. I was wondering if there is a way in Civil 3D 2009 to make a copy of my existing ground profile 4 feet down from the original in order to show a location for my water line.

If it does, then you will need to rebuild the pipe networks in that drawing. Then save the file and then see if it will open in 2020 or newer without the error.
As an alternate test, open the drawing in 2018/2019, do steps 1-6, and then go into the Pipe Networks and delete ALL pipe networks or referenced networks:.Typically, when I do this process it will erase ALL pipe networks. This may allow you to remove invalid data, but be aware that there can be some data loss and you may still have to rebuild data shortcuts, XREF’s, and possibly other data types as well. If the Drawing will not insert into a blank template, then you can try this next:.See this link to rebuild the file in a newer version of C3D (if the file opens in an older version (2018 or 2019), then use that program to rebuild the file. This may or may not bring over the bad data, so be aware that the best option is to rebuild the file. If the same errors occur during the Recovery process the second time, then the file is damaged and will either need to be rebuilt or brought into a new drawing.SaveAs a new drawing name and close the drawing and repeat the process again (Steps 1-5).Normally you should have 20 or less, if this list gets large, it will impact the drawing performance and stability.(This is the command line purge, the only way you can get to the Registered Applications)
Let the drawing open, it will run a recovery operation and full Audit, make note of any dialog boxes that come up (this is informational, and may uncover part of the errors along the way.Open the file in the older version using the Recover process.
Here’s how to correct the issue (in most cases), if there is pipe networks in the drawing, skip to the Alternate Fix section to confirm it’s a pipe network issue: Typically, I see this occur with 2018/2019 files that are then brought over into 2020 or newer version of the software, and in most cases the problem is with pipe networks in that drawing. You get this error opening a Civil 3D file that was started in an older version and you’ve opened and saved in a new version or get the error when opening the file
