Long story short, this problem had The CAD Geek stumped (it happens from time-to-time). Sometimes the number of errors went down, sometimes it went up, apparently the AUDIT command had become a mood indicator for Civil 3D. In fact, there was a time in the troubleshooting process that I questioned if the AUDIT command actually did anything, or if it was simply a random number generator.

Trouble was, regardless of the series of commands I threw at the troublesome drawings, the errors remained, and the drawings continued to crash. Command settings have always been a different story short of manually making the change across multiple drawings, I have yet to find a great way to manage changes to command settings out of the box.Ī couple weeks ago, I had what some would call the perfect storm a major deadline, crashing grading drawings, and managerial pressure to get it fixed yesterday. With styles you do at least have the option to drag-and-drop styles from one drawing to another, but even this method has its caveats. Such revisions oftentimes mean changes to your default command settings, and so the domino effect begins.

It’s certainly not uncommon to add or even update a style to your companies’ Civil 3D template.

One of my biggest complaints about Civil 3D has been its lack of an easy way to manage styles and command settings across many drawings. This morning I took a quick minute to get caught up on what’s happening in the blogosphere, and came across an announcement on the EE Civil3DPedia blog that made me double-check today was March 1, not April 1 (aka April Fool’s Day). Getting the initial manuscript for my upcoming book AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT: No Experience Required submitted has made me fall behind on reading some of my favorite blogs.
