Exercise 2: Exporting Plot Data

In this exercise, you will generate a mapcheck report for the plots in the residential road at the top right of the drawing.

In AutoCAD Civil 3D you can export inverse or mapcheck reports for either a single plot, a series of plots, or all plots in a site.

This exercise continues from Exercise 1: Changing Plot Style Display Order.

To export plot data

Note:

This exercise uses Plot-3A.dwg with the modifications you made in the previous exercise.

1. On the ToolspaceProspector tab, expand SitesSite 1Plots.
2. In the list view below the Prospector tree, click the heading of the Number column to sort the plots by number.
3. Select plot numbers 120 through 136. Plot number 136, STANDARD: 131, represents the road on which the plots are located. Ctrl+click plot number 136 in the list view to deselect it and exclude it from the analysis.
4. In the list view, right-click and select Export Analysis.
5. In the Export Plot Analysis dialog box, specify the following parameters:
   • Destination File: Click and navigate to the My Tutorial Data folder. Name the file ExportAnalysis.txt.
   • Analysis Type: Mapcheck Analysis
6. Click OK.

   The ExportAnalysis.txt file automatically opens in the text editor associated with AutoCAD Civil 3D and is saved in the location you specified in Step 5.

   Note:

   If the file does not automatically open, open it from the My Tutorial Data folder.
