Use this tab to define how data is imported from a LandXML file to AutoCAD Civil 3D.
You can set the data translation, rotation, and conversion settings. In addition, there are options to control the import of point, surface, and pipe network data.
Specifies whether to translate data to new coordinates when importing the data from the LandXML file. Select On to translate the data on import.
Specifies the base point northing coordinate from which all import values are translated.
Specifies the base point easting coordinate from which all import values are translated.
Specifies the base point elevation from which all import values are translated.
Specifies the northing coordinate value used to translate data from the base point.
Specifies the easting coordinate value used to translate data from the base point.
Specifies the elevation value used to translate data from the base point.
Specifies whether to rotate data when importing it from the LandXML file. Select On to rotate the data on import.
Specifies the angle about the base point where the LandXML data is rotated.
Specifies the direction of rotation. Select this option to calculate the angle in a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation about the base point.
Specifies how to map the ‘desc’ and ‘code’ attributes to the point descriptions:
Specifies how to import the data:
After importing surface data, a snapshot can automatically be created. By creating a snapshot after importing a LandXML file, AutoCAD Civil 3D does not attempt to find and open the LandXML file each time the surface is built. Select On to create a snapshot.
Imports the surface source data (breaklines, contours, points, and chains) into the drawing as 3D polylines and points.
This data is created on the following layers prefixed with the surface name:
Specifies the pipe network parts list that is used during import to match pipe network part types in a LandXML file with pipe network part types in a AutoCAD Civil 3D parts list. Review these settings prior to import to verify that settings are appropriate for your data.
Specify individual part types to use when importing pipe network parts from a LandXML file into AutoCAD Civil 3D. Review these settings prior to import to verify that settings are appropriate for your data. You may use the defaults, or click to specify other parts in the Part Catalog dialog box.
Specifies how objects with the same name are handled.
On import, AutoCAD Civil 3D reads the <LandXML>.<Units>.diameterUnits, and if they are defined, those units are used for both pipes and structures. If units are not defined, the following unit settings are applied. Either the Imperial or Metric diameter settings are applied, based on the defined <LandXML>.<Units>.linearUnit in the file.
Defines the default imperial pipe and structure diameter units that are applied when units are not specified in the source LandXML file.
Defines the default metric pipe and structure diameter units that are applied when units are not specified in the source LandXML file.
Defines the default manner in which constraints are assigned to alignment entities when an alignment is imported from a LandXML file.
