Transfer Object Layers

Transfer Object Layers provides comprehensive functionality to transfer Civil 3D object layer settings between projects, including direct file transfer and Excel export/import capabilities for creating and managing standards.

Overview

• Import object layer data from multiple sources.
• Edit and modify data before transferring.
• Export current file settings as standards.
• Create and manage standards efficiently.
• Share standards across teams.

Import Options

Transfer Object Layers provides three main ways to import object layer data:

1. Import from Open File

Import object layer data from currently open Civil 3D files:

• File Selection - Select from currently open Civil 3D files.
• Direct Import - Import object layer data directly from open files.

2. Import from Closed File

Import object layer data from closed Civil 3D files:

• File Browser - Browse and select closed Civil 3D files.
• Data Extraction - Extract object layer data from closed files.
• Offline Import - Import data without opening the source file.

Modify Data Before Transferring

Transfer Object Layers provides data editing capabilities, allowing you to modify object layer data directly in the UI before transferring to your target file.

Imported Data Display

View all imported object layer data:

Imported object layer data is displayed in a structured table with four main columns:

• Layer.
• Modifier.
• Value.
• Locked.

This layout allows you to easily review and understand each object’s layer configuration before proceeding with transfer.

Direct Editing

After importing object layer data, you can edit the data directly in the UI before transferring to your target file.
