Extending Civil 3D Workflows with Autodesk Forma

When attempting to create a Data Shortcut reference to a profile, Create Reference is grayed out even though the profile appears correctly under the alignment in the Data Shortcuts tree.

Issue: COGO points are already in the drawing, but the expected point styles, label styles, symbols, or full descriptions from a Description Key Set are not being applied.

New breaklines, contours, points, or corridor data have been added to a surface, but the surface does not update.

Civil 3D labels that previously displayed correctly now show the message: "Label Contains Broken Reference"

Civil 3D crashes with a Fatal Error or Unhandled Access Violation, often when opening Pressure Network fitting properties, editing connections, or swapping parts.

The MAPTRACKS Coordinate Tracker displays the current drawing coordinate system correctly, but additional coordinate systems return blank values or fail to calculate coordinates.

Users experience random crashes, lockups, or long delays while saving drawings stored on Panzura. In some cases Civil 3D becomes unresponsive or closes unexpectedly.

Labels in Civil 3D: shift position unexpectedly, disappear after regen or reopen, lose leaders or flip direction, or behave differently between drawings.

When you see this error Vehicle Tracking will need to be registered with the licensing service manually.
