Welcome to Quux Software!
Our current flagship product, the Sincpac C3D™, adds more than 100 generic tools
and extra features to Autodesk Civil® and Civil 3D® software,
and has often been likened to "Express Tools for Civil 3D". For
many users, the Sincpac C3D will pay for itself within the first few days of use,
or even within the first few hours of use!
With its many recent additions, the Sincpac C3D has become the pre-eminent generic
add-on utility available for Autodesk Civil 3D® software. If you
already thought Civil 3D was powerful, just wait until you turbo-charge it with
the Sincpac C3D! All features and tools in the Sincpac C3D are designed entirely
for use in Autodesk Civil 3D® 2008, 2009, or 2010 software (or Autodesk
Civil® 2009 or 2010), and all commands work on default Civil 3D entities.
Since no custom objects are involved, your drawings may be shared freely with
people who do not have the Sincpac C3D.

The tools and commands in the Sincpac C3D feature balloon help in the dialog boxes,
so most can be used without even reading a help file. But should you need
it, complete help is available at the click of a button. The help file is
available here on-line, so feel free to browse the list of
commands and tools in the current version.
Ribbon Interface
The latest update to the Sincpac-C3D includes a new Ribbon Interface (2010
version only):
This interface makes it much easier to keep track of the commands available in
the Sincpac-C3D! The new Ribbon Interface appears automatically when you
install the latest release - no configuration required.
Sincpac C3D v2.11 Released!
With Version 2.11, the Sincpac C3D finally
has the ability to import and export Civil 3D Styles! (Unfortunately, this
new functionality is not available in the 2008 and 2009 versions.)
The new ImportCivilStyles
and ExportCivilStyles commands
now make it much easier to manage styles. Quickly and easily transport any
or all styles between drawings. You'll be amazed at how quickly and easily
hundreds of styles can be imported or exported!
And best of all, this feature is part of the Drafting Module of the Sincpac C3D,
which can be purchased for only $135!
DrawingTemplate and Quick Layer Import
In addition, Version 2.10 came out just a short time ago, and introduced some other
handy new features, including the concept of a
link back to the Drawing Template. Now, whenever you create a new
drawing, a link is included in the drawing, so it remembers the template it was
created from. Currently, the only use of this feature involves layers.
When auto-generating a layer, Sincpac C3D commands will check to see if the layer
exists in the template. If so, the layer is copied from the template, instead
of being created with the default settings.
There is also now the new Quick Layer
Import feature, as well as the related
ImportLayer command. These features allow layers to be quickly
and easily imported from a variety of sources, including the DrawingTemplate, the
QNew Template, any currently-open drawing, any XREF of the current drawing, or more!
Look for this functionality to continue to grow in months to come.
The Point Group Browser,
which may be used to turn Automatic
Point Group Updates on and off for each Point Group individually.
Automatic Point Group Update
This is one of the most exciting new features in the Sincpac C3D! As all Civil
3D users are probably aware, Civil 3D Point Groups do not automatically update.
Well, not anymore...
With the new Point Group Update feature in the Sincpac C3D, Point Groups will automatically
update whenever Cogo Points are created or deleted! This behavior is controlled
using the new PGUpdateEnabled
system variable, stored in each individual drawing. If you also turn on PGUpdateOnEdit, then Point
Groups will also be updated every time you edit a Cogo Point.
The PGBrowser command may
also be used to suppress the Automatic Update for individual Point Groups.
Simply check or uncheck the item for "Automatically Update" for each Point
Group in the Point Group Browser. And the new
PGUpdateAll command may also be used to update all Point Groups from the
command line. This is handy for people who are unaware of or have a hard time
remembering the undocumented "AeccUpdateAllPointGroups" command.
And that's not all! To see a complete list of changes, fixes, and new
features, take a look at the Sincpac C3D change log.
And we're still just beginning!
There is still much more to come! A number of exciting tools are slated for
release in the near future, along with many improvements to the existing tools.
Look for all three Sincpac C3D modules to gain significant additional functionality
in the coming weeks and months. Your purchase of a license includes updates
for one year from the date of purchase, so you will gain access to all new tools
and features as they are released.
There are also four subsets of the Sincpac-C3D tools available, for those who don't
need the complete toolset. See the
Product Matrix for details on which fetaures are available in each module.
