Converting AutoCAD Blocks to Civil 3D COGO Points the Easy Way

[@sharony9808]

When i pick the block to be replaced It tells me my block has Invalid characters in block name. The following characters are invalid: \/":?*|,=` my block does not contain any of these invalid symbols only a - in the name which is not invalid.

[@mikekingdon24]

A good tutorial, I often receive survey data with block X marks. A potentially easier method that I use is to simply insert a point inside the block via the block editor, then explode all the blocks which destroys all the blocks and leaves the points.

[@mofish87]

Thank you! Is there a way to number them with existing information? Specifically I'm trying to number them based on structure numbers

[@sydneydwoskin4950]

Does anyone else lose the description when they do this process? I work with trees and I specifically need the description to carry over from autocad block>>soft desk block>>cogo point. I notice it gets lost going from softdesk block to cogo point.

Hello Mr, when i chose the block to be replaced, it gives me " INVALID. Block names cannot be equal ". Why ?

[@omarkhaled8440]

BECAUSE THE NAME OF BLOCK

[@RameshGau]

hi, just one thing, what ele blocks are taking in the process if i have many surfaces in the file

[@explorelearnaf6339]

I tried it but for me difficult to convert block to points even before I explode the file first

[@AleksandarSabo-l2s]

I try this, but something don't work....when i replace acad block to new block all points disapear , and i can't repleace softdesk point block...

Also helped me out in Civil3D 2022. Thanks for tutorial, it was exactly what i needed!

[@diegotrevino-h7s]

bro how u have "convert block to point" as ur drawing, i always get "drawing1" how do i change the template?

[@MichaelGottselig]

It didn't carry over the point description. How do I get it to retain the point description? This is pretty useless to me if I can't carry the descriptions.

[@chriswev]

Doesn't work for me, in my drawing the blocks (crosses) are all at 0 elevation/ level/ z, and the elevation I need to get is the written level text, which is written in text beside the block (cross).

[@naseerbhatti177]

Yes u can convert them into cogo points with elevation.

[@RameshGau]

Dear, i have tried as you did. The difference in my case is that i have two types of autocad blocks and i am trying to replace these with two different cogo blocks ( so that i get diff Raw description). It is not working fine. Autocad blocks remain blocks after replcement even after running Softpoint to cogo point. pl help me. thx in advance. Ramesh

[@vijayakumarselvaraj-vg4jz]

Hi I have the same issue. Did the problem resolved for you

[@kurtkrier7815]

It only converts one block at a time for me. How did you set the replace block command to replace all of the blocks in the dwg by just selecting one block?

[@RameshGau]

hi did u get ur query resolve. i also have similar query

[@joew717]

nice! Does this trick retain the point description from the block?

[@criztiuca]

no

[@nofidrahmanhadilubis8290]

i get stuck when replace block, it said cannot invoke (command) bla bla bla, would you mind to help me to solve this problem? thanks

[@kondwanizulu383]

Thanks a lot for this video. Great work and huge relief for me. I need a little bit of help - my point just won't appear when it's created. It's just not displayed. No idea how to solve that.

[@mojtabakeyvanlu5730]

Terrific, it was one of my life challenges that just got solved. Many thanks to your outstanding tutorial!

[@imright3074]

[@amralsanosi5280]

Thanx alot for v.exciting video , Sir I've q. .if Ive to add existing level from block to those points

So können Sie Softdesk-Punktblöcke in Autodesk Civil 3D-Punkte umwandeln......nicht funktioniert in Deutsche Version

[@TheIsaacstephens]

That's incredibly helpful! Wish i could give more thanks than just a thumbs up!

Perfect tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@Landscape_Architecture]

Thanks for the video, but this is just too cumbersome in 2021. Hope Autodesk just adds a button for 'replace block with cogo'. And no, i dont wanna runa lisp to fix it either :p
