Carlson Software's 'All Purpose Power Tools' streamline the steps to accomplish projects quickly, easily and more accurately.

• Drawing Cleanup -- perform data integrity checks, convert proprietary objects into usable entities and eliminate wasteful redundancies with this powerful tool for control over the drawing no matter who had it before you.
• Join Nearest -- highly improved command that allows you to define tolerances and safety checks when joining objects together.
• Shrink-Wrap Entities -- time- and effort-saving method of defining boundaries.
• Drawing Inspector -- get an instantaneous and dynamic readout of bearings, distances, elevations and other information for Quality Assurance activities.
• 3D Viewer Window -- view perspectives and get elevational analysis of 3D data and surfaces with this tool, which has eleiminated the need for costly graphics hardware upgrades.
• 2D/3D Polyline Utilities -- with these, Carlson gives you tools to enhance the use of polylines that AutoCAD® doesn't have.
• Erase by Layer -- save time eradicating data on layer(s) without having to isolate, erase and restore them.
• Quick Keys Editor -- quickly key in shortcut commands to speed your own projects.

Plus—

• Project Data Management -- Define and Assign... Carlson Civil allows you, the end user, to definte your project folder structure in the way that makes sense to you and your organization, with as little or as much complexity as suits your needs, and then assign the data types used in the Carlson Civil Suite to the folers you've defined. At Carlson Software, we know that this is a critical key to your successful implementation of the software, so we let you design it yourself.
• Points -- organize your point data with these valuable tools for setting, managing, modifying and reporting point data.
• Surface Modeling -- Develop and analyze surfaces and their respective contours and lables in just one step. This tool eliminates the need to run a complex series of commands to perform this oft-needed function. External and sharable files are stored, various analyses are performed to ensure data integrity and automatic labeling guarantees that all contours are appropriately labeled with reactive annotation precisely as the user wishes.
• Annotation -- Produce clean, well-documented project plans fast and efficiently with precise tools that use Carlson Civil's library of annotation features. Carlson Civil allows you to introduce your own annotation style to personalize your drawing and provides the tools to quickly clean up complicated annotation challenges in dense drawings. Text overlaps are automatically checked and you have the option of allowing the software to correct it or choose the correction you prefer.
• Volumes -- The Civil Suite's volume computations use the industry's most accurate algorithms and can be based directly on the source data, thereby eliminating any inaccuracies found in other algorithms. Detailed reports in a variety of ways, plus cut/fill labels, color maps and centroids in the drawing file can be produced, all with easy-to-use tools.
