Import CAiCE Projects

By Brian Allen

While browsing an old hard drive the other day I found some projects I worked on in the past using CAiCE and it got me thinking "Can we import CAiCE data directly into Civil 3D?" Well, yes we can! To import such data the CAiCE Translator Extension will need to be installed.

Once installed, the extension will be located in your Toolspace >> Toolbox as shown below.

 

Its quite simple to use. For example, I chose to 'Import CAice Project (*.PT4)' and the import wizard will allow you to pick and choose what data you wish to import.

Points and Survey Chains - Options

 

DTM - Options

 

Geometry Chain - Options

 

Profiles - Options

 

After defining all the options, click 'Import' and Presto! Your data is now ready to use in Civil 3D!

I am here at Autodesk University where the big buzz is certification. Anyone that is here can take certification exams for free. That is right, I said free.

If you would like to take the AutoCAD Civil 3D exam but are not sure you are ready for it, check out my two part virtual class called Incredible AutoCAD Civil 3D Users: Prove your Credibility with Civil 3D Certificaiton.
