Error in copying feature lines from one site to another site

[csexcion]

Hi All,

I created a new template from scratch so I used "acadiso.dwt" as base template. No Layers & no styles at the start. One by one I imported my styles from other drawings that I have already created with the company standard layers. After importing all the Civil 3D objects styles I made, I have new template for our company to use.

Then I discover something. If I copy a feature line from Site1 to Site2, Site1 will be gone. The feature lines on that site will still be there but once I run audit command, all those feature lines will also vanished including the grading on that site. I have so many sites on my design so I did not notice it until I'm finished with my design and tried to clean up my drawings by running the audit command. It took me a while to figure out what went wrong. It was a nightmare repeating everything.

I don't have this error when I was using Civil 3D 2012. I'm using 2014 now. I don't know if this is a bug need to be fixed or I just made a mistake of using the "acadiso.dwt" as base template. Because If I use "AutoCAD Civil 3D (Metric) NCS.dwt" template, the copying of feature lines from one site to another will just do fine.

If anyone knows about this, I will appreciate any enlightenment. I just want to share this so you will not encounter the same mistake.

Yes, that's where the issue probably originated based on many discussions such as these.

This is not an issue with newer versions of Civil 3D such as 2016 and 2017.
