I’ve been teaching a lot of our unlimited instructor-led training sessions lately, and we always try to integrate the EEProPack with each class. (Both unlimited training and the EEProPack are part of our CivilAccess package.)
One of the features that many people reach for in Civil 3D is setting points along a feature line. For some reason, it can’t be done “out of the box”. You have to explode the feature line into a 3dpolyline first, which destroys your feature line. Once that feature line is destroyed, it is pulled out from its job as a surface breakline or grading object foundation. Yuck!
The EEProPack includes a tool that will set point along your feature line, while keeping it safe and sound.

If you have ever had to drag styles from one drawing to another, you know that it works, but man it takes a lot of time (and some fine motor mouse skills!) You can import a whole drawing’s worth of styles using some insert block tricks, but then you sometimes wind up with a messy drawing with extra junk left behind. Not to mention that neither of these methods will bring over your command settings, so you are hopelessly relegated to checking every command to make sure that pesky “standard” style doesn’t come in by default.
With the EEProPack, you import Civil 3D styles, command settings or object layers. You can even import all of the styles and settings from a Civil 3D template in one shot.
For this example, I’ll show you how to use the EEProPack to import just a handful of styles into your current drawing.

Quick reminder, the EECast worldwide tour continues today! I’ll be looking at a intersection design and cul-de-sac design, and how you can do both without ever touching a profile again (after setup of course). Register here, and check out the full schedule at left.
