DEFINE BASE MAP CONTROL |
|
|
PROCEDURE |
||
|
(1)
Start Civil 3D or AutoCAD[01]
(2)
Open
“C:\AseSampleProject\Drawings\SiteLayout.dwg”
(3)
From the ASE ribbon, select [Tools] → [Settings & Initialization]
→ [Data Path - Set]
(4)
Browse to and select the folder
“C:\AseSampleProject\Data\AseDataTraining”
(5)
From the ASE ribbon, select [Tools]
→ [Design Support]
→ [BMC - Define]
(6)
Adjust control layers as needed in the
Base Map Control selection dialog
(7)
Press “OK” to define the BMC data
(8)
An AutoCAD message will be displayed
informing you that ASE Civil will only define BMC using lines and arcs and
that all polylines were exploded. Since the BMC data has now been written to
the ASE data folder, the process may be undone or you may exit the drawing
without saving the changes to preserve the polylines.
(9)
Press “OK” to close the AutoCAD
Message dialog. (10)
Exit the drawing. |
||
|
MAINTENANCE |
||
|
ASE Civil’s Base Map Control data is static.
When changes occur in any of the drawings that were used to define the BMC
data, reflecting those changes in ASE output and calculations requires redefinition
of the Base Map Control data with the procedure previously used. |
||
|
ADVANCED CONCEPTS |
||
|
Once Base Map Control data has been created in a project,
the entities can be imported into any drawing attached to the ASE data
folder. Each system is imported onto a proprietary layer for logical grouping
and organization. Systems may be imported individually or in any
combination. Transitions are identified by ASE (Knuckles and
cul-de-sacs) automatically and may also be imported as independent elements
separate from the layered control systems. |

Civil 3D is not required for this
procedure, so “vanilla” AutoCAD may be used if so desired. |
