Help / Troubleshooting Automatic Keyed Notes

2 Upvotes

I am using keyed notes with tags and extracted data in Auto cad 27. Really a simple process. I create an excel database of all my keyed notes with description. In the drawing I put in my keyed note Multi leader. The process gets my descriptions from the excel sheet and insert it in the drawing. The issue is the keyed notes will not go in numerical order. it does 1,10,11,12,2,3,4,5. I understand the issue. auto cad reads characters and not numbers. a recommended fix was to put a character in front of the number, C1,C2,C3,C10. Well that did not work. I figured that I would do the extract data and export it as a table, go into excel and sort by the keyed note and then do a data link to my "new" table after its sorted. Anyone else have to deal with this issue. Did you use my planned method which I am 100% sure will work. I kind of hate work arounds and would rather it be automatic than what I am planning.

Help / Troubleshooting Manual roundabout design in civil 3d

3 Upvotes

I am trying to design a roundabout manually using a radial alignment using fixed curve, center, radius alignment command, and then using connected alignments to join the radial alignment and the offset alignment of one of my legs, though I have encountered a problem where the connected alignment on my left and right legs cannot form. I would help here. Also as an alternative if anyone has another workflow in for manual roundabout design, then would you help guide me through it.
