Couple questions regarding civil accudraw in ORD update 2.
First, is there a way to save custom civil accudraw tools for the vertical and section windows? I can do this for horizontal window, but not for the other windows.
Next, there doesn't seem to be any options that allow for an elevation to be assigned when creating custom tools despite being present in the default civil accudraw tools for the profile in cross section views.
Finally, in the profile window there is an option to use civil accudraw to place along a slope. Is there a similar way to draw a defined slope in cross section view? I'd like to be able to easily draw a 1:4, 1:6 or 5% line in my section, but can't seem to figure out how without manually creating a line with 2 offset/elevation points.
Hi Mark,
Regarding saving custom Civil AccuDraw tools, could you clarify vertical and sections window? If you are referring to a Profile View and Cross Section Model, saving your settings with the Civil AccuDraw tool displayed will retain the Civil AccuDraw tool position.
Z value (settings) are available from the Default-3D view if you are working in a 2D file.
A slope can be placed by following the link below; however, I also filed Enhancement 864679, Draw a defined slope in cross section view using Civil AccuDraw with our Development group.

I hope this helps.
