    Posted: 06.Jan.2015 at 11:26

Hi,

 

When I try to add grad angles to Observations Editor Civil 3D 2012 does not accept values over 360, even if I set angles to grads in all places (in survey database settings, equipment database manager, drawing settings, and drawing units. Remember that Grad angles close the circle at 400g, whereas Degrees close it at 360.

 

The exact context is:

Show Toolspace;

In the Survey Tab, Create New local survey database

Set angle units to grads at least in Survey database settings and equipment database manager, thow I also set so in drawing settings and drawing units;

Create new network

Define Control Points and Directions

Create the first Setup

Once created, right click, Edit observations

Add an observation with an angle (considering to be expressed in Grads) with a value over 360

The program simply won't accept the value like it would reject by default all values equal or over 360.

It does not work even if you change the angle type from angle to Azimuth.

Why? Might this by a bug or I am missing a setting somewhere?

 

Thank you

Aren't you the person who posted the exact same question on the AutoCAD Civil 3D General Discussion board back on 08-23-2012?  That's a long time to be waiting for an answer.  Apparently you are the only person expressing angles using grads it appears.

Yes, I am the same person. Expressing angles in grads is a standard in  my country. Of course I have the option to do the whole work in degrees and convert to grads in the end, I still asked the question as I was curious about an opinion.

Then I guess that either makes you a pioneer or a guy who likes to do things the hard way.  Either way it does not appear you are going to get an answer to your question.

Have you tried inputting the number as a fraction?  Ex. - 100/400
