They will also be included in the _All Points group. The COGO points will be visible in the drawing and listed in Prospector under Points. Modify your point settings so you don’t have to hit enter for a description or name after each point is created.įinally, from the first drop-down menu in the previous window, convert the AutoCAD points to COGO Points. That will insert AutoCAD points in the drawing from the surface. Select the surface and, on the contextual ribbon, click on ‘Extract Objects’. Otherwise, the option ‘Points’ will not be available in the next step.
Go to Surface Properties and select a style that shows the points. The points will take the elevation from the Z coordinate of the text and its position will be the insertion point of the text (the point where the square grip appears when you select the text in AutoCAD).
If you are using the ‘UK English’ version of Civil 3D the command will be ‘Move Text to Level’.Īdd the text points to the surface from Prospector as below. This will make the Z coordinate for the text equal to the text content. On the contextual ribbon, click on ‘Move Text to Elevation’ and select the text objects. Select the surface from Prospector to show the contextual ribbon. If the Prospector palette is not showing, click on the two red boxes as shown in the screenshot below so that they are highlighted. So, the below steps guides you how to achieve that goal.Ĭreate a new empty surface by right-clicking on Surfaces in Prospector as shown below. However, AutoCAD Civil 3D doesn’t include a built-in tool to convert points represented as AutoCAD text into COGO points.
COGO points can be stored in a project outside a drawing and referenced by multiple users. COGO points, in addition to coordinate data, have a variety of properties associated with them, including point number, point name, raw (field) description, and full (expanded) description.
The points created by AutoCAD Civil 3D are called Coordinate Geometry (COGO) points, which are very different from AutoCAD point nodes.
