Topic: (C3D 2015) Create/Edit Aliases

[Mark]

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!!!

yes. but now i'm wondering if the location of the path in the list of paths makes any difference.

[Mark]

nope! that didn't help either.

try importing the attached profile >>>Options>>Profile....and set current

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? ):

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

suggest running ONLY MAP 3D and see what happens

OH...sorry that ARG would not have worked it is from a standard install of 2014

About every other time I use Map I lose the Task Pane! LOL

that would suggest you use MAP more often!

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.

Nope! That doesn't work. I even set to start with Map.

You're buggered....
