CAD Masters, Inc. (CMI) has created CMI Tools for Civil 3D to enhance the capabilities of Civil 3D and fill in some of the gaps of the software. CMI Tools are included as a free benefit for customers who purchase their Autodesk Subscription for Civil 3D from CAD Masters. Or it can be purchased for $99/seat. Ever wish that you could create a point table that references stations and offsets for an alignment? Do you want more control over your styles and the ability to find and replace them, or globally edit them? Alignment and profile tools increase productivity in labeling, creating offset or intersecting profiles, and generating profiles from 3d polylines.

This routine will allow you to search all Civil 3D styles in a drawing for a particular layer, text
style, or block. You can also replace
the layer, text style, or block as desired.
This command is used to simply add or remove a prefix to the names of all
the styles. It can also be used to
change name of the person that created the styles.
This command is used to modify all of the table styles in
the drawing template.
go to the top
Import/Export styles from a drawing or template to one or more other
drawings.
Export the default object creation layers found in Drawing Settings, edit
them in Excel and import them back.
Imports description keys from an Excel spread
sheet.
Alignment staking creates Civil 3D points for your alignment based key geometry. These points can be used for
reports, used in the drawing or in the field.
Use this command to find all intersecting alignments and
extract the elevations from the corresponding profiles to create a new profile.
Use this command to create a new profile based on
relationships with other adjacent alignments and profiles. This tool is great for curb return profiles.
Mark points on a profile using the stations of an
alignment. Obtain the elevations from a neighboring profile. Create
superimposed profiles where you are in control.
If you do not need an entire existing ground DTM, you can
use this utility to create a profile from a 3D polyline or point objects.
It's perfect for using an alignment and profile as a cross section. CMI Tools
will calculate the station of each vertex or point and add this information to
a layout profile.
go to the top
Stretch a profile positive or negative station within a
certain station range while maintaining the elevations. This routine can
save a lot of time when making changes to the alignment and need to update the
profile to compensate.
go to the top
When copying assemblies in Civil 3D, the subassembly names can get unruly. This routine will allow you to globally rename subassemblies based on a pattern of AssemblyName-SubassemblyName-Side.
go to the top
Use this command to delete unused assemblies in your drawing. If an assembly exists in the drawing and is not used in a corridor, it will be deleted.
go to the top
Create a table within your AutoCAD drawing that shows
point information – northing, easting, elevation, description. You can even
include stations and offsets to a reference alignment:
go to the top
This command quickly creates an ASCII text file that
contains all the eastings, northings and elevations
for all the points used to build a surface. This command is great for
creating modified large text files that spreadsheet software would not be able
to handle.
These utilities will allow you to set a dview twist angle simply by picking two points. You
can also automatically rotate text or point objects such that they "line
up" with the current twist angle.
