(C3D 2015) Create/Edit Aliases
« on: February 24, 2015, 02:06:13 PM »
Anyone have something that works to fix this issue? I have tried all kinds of path options but without knowing exactly what file(s) controls the dialog then i'm just guessing.

From Autodesk;
Clicking "Create/Edit Aliases" does nothing (except return an Internal Error) in Civil 3D 2015

thanks

I have no problem opening the Dialog. However, when adding an alias for a command not listed I get an error due to being unable to write to the file which is in a folder typically not writable. Working on a solution to that one myself.

did you add the support path as suggested?

1. In the Civil 3D command line, type OPTIONS and hit Enter.
2. On the Files tab, expand the Support File Search Path.
3. Add the path C:\program files\autodesk\autocad 2015\map\support\en-us and hit OK.
4. Exit and relaunch AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015.
The "Create/Edit Aliases" dialog should appear from now on whenever you call it.

ETA

funny - Just as I post this to you...my C3D crashes with Fatal Error....REVENGE!!!

Running IDSP 2015 here, and invoking this followed by REINIT works just fine for me (I last used the dialog to edit alias in +/- LDD 2006? :-D ):

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun c:PGP (/ file)
  2.   (if (setq file (findfile "acad.pgp"))
  3.     (startapp "explorer" file)
  4.     (prompt "\n** File not found ** ")
  5.   )
  6.   (princ)
  7. )
  8.  


[Edit] - Autodesk should still correct the issue, of course - otherwise we're not getting our money's worth [git'em Michael!] - just sharing a simple workaround, FWIW.

Cheers

No, in Map i lose the Task Pane, not in C3D. It's not a problem in C3D! Other than the fact I can't add an alias.

So, you see my problem? Neither program is working correctly.

in MAP you type MAPWSAPCE>>turn ON it should appear....


ELSE

you should do clean uninstall and re-install your apps because somehow your registry has gotten buggered.

there is a whole prescribed method.....
it starts in an unlikely way...and then finishes as one would expect...


one most remove the material libraries...in reverse order of installation...

1. Click Start menu (Windows) > Settings > Control Panel.

2. In the Programs and Features select.

Autodesk Material Library Base Resolution Image Library 2015 then click Remove/Uninstall.
Autodesk Material Library 2015 and click Remove/Uninstall
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 and click Remove
Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis 2015 and click Uninstall
Autodesk Material Library Base Resolution Image Library 2013 then click Remove/Uninstall
Autodesk Material Library 2015 and click Remove/Uninstall
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 and click Uninstall/Change
Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis 2013and click Uninstall
4. Click Yes when prompted to confirm that you want to completely remove the application and all of its components.

5. If you are prompted to remove shared files, click No to All, and then click Yes when prompted for confirmation to proceed.

6. After the uninstall procedure has completed, click OK and restart the computer.

then....

. Using Windows Explorer, delete the following Civil 3D 2013 installation folder:

Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 20xx

Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (64-bit): C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 20xx

and still....

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R20.0\ACAD-E000:409
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R20.0\ACAD-E000:409
Close the Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.

I feel your pain,

yet makes me smile that I chose to ignore 2015 upgrade cycle...so much love for coerced upgrades and subscription fees   :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: :smitten: :smitten: :tickedoff:
