Sincpac-C3D Video Demonstrations and Tutorials

• General Text Features (6:28)
  Illustrates a number of basic features of the Sincpac-C3D, which help work with General Note and Line/Curve Object Layer settings, background masks for Mtext and Mleaders, and functionality to auto-rotate Mtext, Mleaders, and Dimensions to match the current DVIEW TWIST.  (Some of the tasks demonstrated in this video require the Drafting module of the Sincpac C3D; others may be performed with any of the three modules.)

• Export Cogo Points to Google Earth (5:35)
  Export Cogo Points to a KMZ file (compressed KML file), which may be opened in Google Earth.  Includes the ability to map Point Markers to custom graphics, which may be included in the KMZ file  (The tasks demonstrated in this video require the Points module of the Sincpac C3D.)

(All videos in this section demonstrate tasks that require the Drafting module of the Sincpac C3D.)

• Check Parcels (5:17)
  Demonstrates how to use the PerpCheck command to identify Parcel intersections that are perpendicular/radial, intersections that are not perpendicular/radial, and gaps in Parcel linework.
• Edit Profile PVIs (7:50)
  Demonstrates how the STRETCHPROF and MOVEPROF commands may be used to repair a Profile after editing the Alignment.

(All videos in this section demonstrate tasks that require the Power Module of the Sincpac C3D.)

• Point Links (7:19)
  An introduction to the Dynamic Point Links.
• Dynamic Station/Offset Tables (4:35)
  A demonstration of how to use Dynamic Point Links to create a dynamic Station/Offset table.
• Dynamic Cut/Fill Tables (6:36)
  A demonstration of how to use Dynamic Point Links to create a dynamic Cut/Fill table.
• Lock to Alignment Horizontal Geometry Point (5:54)
  A demonstration of how to use Dynamic Point Links to lock Cogo Points to the nearest horizontal geometry point in an Alignment.
• Profile Links I (9:32)
  An introduction to the Dynamic Profile Links.
• Profile Links II (9:00)
  A demonstration of Dynamic Profile Links used for Site Grading.
• Dynamic Coordinate Conversion (7:26)
  A demonstration of how to create links to alternate coordinate systems, to create dynamic Labels and Point Tables that display coordinates in multiple systems simultaneously.

(All videos in this section demonstrate tasks that require the Power module of the Sincpac C3D.)

• Introduction to the DisplayPoints command (5:42)
  This video covers the grid view, how to customize the display, and how to use Quicksets to save and recall your favorite settings.
• Station Sorting Parameters (3:58)
  This video explains the "Station Sorting Parameters" found in the upper-right corner of the dialog box.
• Editing Points (4:32)
  This video illustrates the ways that Cogo Points may be edited from within the DisplayPoints command.
• Point Groups (3:12)
  This video demonstrates how to use the DisplayPoints command to manipulate and create Point Groups.
• Output (5:42)
  This video illustrates the various output options, which include printing to a file, printing directly to a printer, or copy-and-paste into other programs such as Excel.

(All videos in this section demonstrate tasks that require the Power module of the Sincpac C3D.)

• Introduction to the DisplayAlignProf command (4:54)
  An introductory overview of the DisplayAlignProf command.
• Comparing Profiles and Surface (6:25)
  A demonstration of how the DisplayAlignProf command may be used to examine data in a drawing, including comparing the difference between Profile and Surface elevations.

• Curb Offsets I (15:18)
  A demonstration of one way to use StakeFeatures in combination with Profiles to stake and grade offets to top-back-of-curb along a subdivision roadway.  (The tasks demonstrated in this video require the Points module of the Sincpac C3D.)
• Curb Offsets II (10:48)
  A demonstration of one way to use StakeFeatures in combination with Feature Lines to stake and grade offsets to top-back-of-curb around a parking lot.  (The tasks demonstrated in this video require the Points module of the Sincpac C3D.)
• Hatch Survey Figures (4:16)
  A demonstration of one method of placing hatches on Survey Figures, which works even when the Survey Figures are not closed.  This method uses the Extract2d command.  (The tasks demonstrated in this video require the Drafting module of the Sincpac C3D.)

• Transfer Styles (6:44)
  A demonstration of how to use the ImportCivilStyles and ExportCivilStyles commands to transfer Styles between drawings and templates.  (The tasks demonstrated in this video require the Drafting module of the Sincpac C3D.)
• Transfer Object Layer Settings (2:56)
  A demonstration of how to use the ObLaRead and ObLaWrite commands to transfer Object Layer Settings between drawings and templates.  (The commands demonstrated in this video are available in all three of the Sincpac C3D modules, but are not available in the Free Edition.)
