VEDIT
Sort of like PEDIT, provides ability to Delete, Insert, or Move the vertices of LWPolyines, Polylines and AECC_CONTOURs. As usual, it includes locked-layer checking and Undo control. Sub-commands, including Undos, are repeatable with a simple return or pick (to the extent they make sense).  It includes an AutoPan feature and the option to turn on ContourStyle grips if they're off.

LDREPAIR
Fixes the apparent disassociation of Leaders and MTEXT in most cases, which are due to the apparent failure of the built-in AutoCAD reactors to handle disparate elevations and distances.

AVGRADE
Reports the average grade and elevation of a 3DPolyline by both simple and distance-weighted methods.  Built for use in dealing with building height computations for the Township of Holmdel, Monmouth County, New Jersey.

3D2PROF - (Land Desktop only)
Sample a 3D polyline directly into the vertical data of any LDT2 alignment. Your choice of start and end points of the polyline, and whether to merge or replace overlapping stations. Only one of its kind that can sample a profile along a variable offset from C/L.  Great for existing gutters!

WLTYPES  - exports LINETYPE definitions from a drawing to any linetype definition file (*.LIN), either existing or new.  Extremely handy for recreating lost definitions or for cloning them from others' drawing files.

ATTMOD - A little utility to provide dialog editing of attributes (Tag, Prompt, Default) within a block definition.

CHGELEV - Changes selected objects to any elevation, including any  subentities such as attributes and heavy vertices.  Also checks for locked layers.  Similar to ZO except for the choice of elevation.

CJOIN can join Land Desktop AECC_CONTOURS with options to fill in gaps, correct elevations, and close the contour.

IMPROVED !!

LABEL_IT -  Cadlantic Bearing, Distance, Arc Labeler (Enhanced Version)
Label_It is the ultimate solution to labeling bearings, distances, arc information (including chord bearing and distance) especially with Autodesk Land Development Desktopt.
It offers astounding bearing and arc labeling features including automatic stacking, associative leaders, intelligent renumberable tags, and your own label style and table style manager (layers, colors, precision, text styles, leader types, etc.)
In one command you can change the label style "on the fly", and label lines, arcs, polyline segments, and entire polylines...
       !!! EVEN IF NESTED IN A BLOCK OR XREF !!!

LSTAT = The BEST layer manager.
Saves and restores NAMED LAYER STATUSES...   (Clayer/Color/Frozen/Locked/Xref/LWeights/PlotStyles/NoPlot) kept as invisible attributes IN THE DRAWING. It can even restore statuses embedded in XRefs, allow you to view any status, report on all statuses, write them out as blocks, and create script files.   Now keeps track of CREATED and MODIFIED dates!

VPLSTAT - Dialog driven program saves and restores NAMED Viewport LAYER STATUSES (Frozen/Thawed) kept as invisible attributes IN THE DRAWING.
They can be restored either selectively or for all Viewports.  It can even restore LSTAT statuses from the current drawing, even if embedded in XRefs!

XOFFSET offsets ARCs, CIRCLEs, ELLIPSEs, LINEs, LWPOLYLINEs,  2D POLYLINEs, RAYs, SPLINEs, and XLINEs...
      !!! EVEN IF NESTED IN A BLOCK OR XREF !!!

It provides the option to offset individual polyline segments  as lines or arcs, or just CLONE nested objects in place!  Unlike the standard OFFSET command, XOFFSET allows you to offset objects on locked layers.
It will even clone XRef layers, colors, linetypes, and linetype scales.

Two last notes:

If the tool you need is not on this list, we can probably make it for you at an affordable price.

Custom modifications can be made at reasonable rates.

3D2PROF

Sample a 3D polyline directly into the vertical data of any LDT2+ alignment. Your choice of start and end points of the polyline, and whether to merge or replace overlapping stations. Only one of its kind that can sample a profile along a variable offset from C/L.  Great for existing gutters!

LABEL_IT

CADLANTIC Bearing, Distance, Arc Labeler

LABEL_IT is the ultimate solution to labeling bearings, distances, arc information (including chord bearing and distance) especially with Land Development.

Dialog driven program adds up both the 2D and 3D lengths of LINES, ARCS, and POLYLINES based on your choice of entity type, layer, color, linetype, thickness, or polyline width in any combination.  Great for figuring, say, the total length of proposed concrete curb.

$180

TEXTBOX

Places solids and/or polylines for "white out" under existing text.  Dialog driven with color selection and text selection shortcuts.

$75

TAPER

A cute utility for tapering the width of each segment of a polyline to give a little depth to those otherwise boring treelines.

$39

TREELINE

Draws tree lines on arcs as polylines.

$75

TRIM_TIN

Polyline boundary trim for Softdesk TIN's through Release 12.14.  Just create and pick a polyline boundary and it will convert exterior TIN lines to layer EDTINDL, ready for updating.

$99

TXT2FIL

Writes selected lines of text entities to an ASCII file.

$24

TXTJOIN

Joins (concatenates) multiple text entities in to one (1) string.  Just pick the entities in the order you want them joined, choose how many spaces between each, and then pick which text entity to join to.  Great for fixing Land Desktop labels pipes in its PIPEWORKS module.

$48

TXTSWAP

Swaps the contents of two (2) text entities, leaving all other properties (height, width, style, layer, etc.) the same.  Written out of need to correct the obtuse order in which Land Desktop labels pipes in its PIPEWORKS module.

$48

UBLOCK

Makes a user-defined block out of almost anything.  No names needed, and self-purging.

$99

UPDATE

Updates (makes “newer”) selected objects.  User can temporarily erase objects, such as solids, that may be in the way.

$75

VARSHADE

Fills in a polyline with a user-defined block of square solids varying in size by either a linear or sine wave function.  The user can select the beginning and ending densities and the number of lines per inch.  For the wave function, the user can also select the wave length.

$99

VEDIT

Sort of like PEDIT, provides ability to Delete, Insert, or Move the vertices of LWPolyines, Polylines and AECC_CONTOURs.  As usual, it includes locked-layer checking and Undo control. Sub-commands, including Undos, are repeatable with a simple return or pick (to the extent they make sense). It includes an AutoPan feature and the option to turn on ContourStyle grips if they're off.

$99

Vert2Horiz

Lists and/or labels FG profile elevations in plan relative to a Land Desktop alignment.
Includes label options for:
  Station and Offset
  Elevation adjustment (+ or -)
  Description prefix

$99

VOLBASIN

Calculates detention basin volumes by selecting polylines, AECC_CONTOURs, or points to extract areas and compute the incremental and total volume.  It also computes percolation for each elevation. The basin bottom may be flat or conical.  Volumes are calculated by the truncated prism ("prismoidal") method.

$99

VPMAKE

Create and position a viewport in Paper Space by dynamically defining a special viewbox of any size, location, or orientation in Model Space.  The viewport created is automatically sized and zoomed to the correct center and Paper Space scale.  It works in any UCS.

$180

VPLFREEZ

User can VPLAYER, FREEZE layers by selecting objects, in All, or selected Viewports.

$48

VPLOCK
VPUNLOCK

Lock or Unlock viewports by selection (window, crossing, etc.)

FREE

VPPICK

Conquers paper space viewports even if they are frozen simply by pointing inside them.  Reports a complete status of all viewports, and gives you on-line help to get the SECRETS OF SUCCESS.

$99

VPLSTAT

Dialog driven program saves and restores named Viewport layer sTATUSes (Frozen/Thawed) kept as invisible attributes IN THE DRAWING.  They can be restored either selectively or for all Viewports.

$150

VPVSTAT

Dialog driven program saves and restores NAMED VIEW STATUSES for all Viewports in a drawing.  They can be restored either selectively or for all Viewports.

$99

VSEARCH

Finds overlapping, intersecting, and duplicate polyline vertices that would otherwise cause Softdesk's DTM creator to crash.  Selection options are All/Layer/Picklayer/<Manually>.

$75

VTWIST

DVIEW/Twists and/or ZOOMs to any defined border block, inserted at any angle, or lets the user pick corners by dynamically defining a special viewbox of any size, location, and orientation.  It works in any UCS.

$150

VZ

Pick a 3D polyline and edit each vertex elevation.

$75

WEED'EM

Deletes polyline vertices within a user-specified tolerances, eliminates spline control points and vertices that are along a common line.  It also smooths the polyline by curving appropriate segments, and offers the user the choice of generating linetypes through vertices.  Expect an average 50% reduction in vertices while improving the intended shape.  Intended for contour lines, but also works great on all that excessive aerial topo.

$198

WLTYPES

Exports LINETYPE definitions from a drawing to any linetype definition file (*.LIN), either existing or new.  Extremely handy for recreating lost definitions or for cloning them from other's drawing files.

$99

WVIEW and
RVIEW

Reads and writes named views to or from an external .AVF (AutoCAD View File) program.  It will not overwrite existing named views.

FREE

XOFFSET

Offsets ARCs, CIRCLEs, ELLIPSEs, LINEs, LWPOLYLINEs, 2D POLYLINEs, RAYs, SPLINEs, and XLINEs...


     
!!! EVEN IF NESTED IN A BLOCK OR XREF !!!

Provides the option to offset individual polyline segments as lines or arcs.

Unlike the standard OFFSET command, XOFFSET allows you to offset objects on locked layers.
Includes entity creation options for Color, Elevation, Linetype, LTScale, and Thickness via four (4) methods:
 "Original" "Current" "Constant" and "Prompt"

This can safely be used instead of the standard OFFSET command.

$150

XNOTES

XNOTES provides interactive access to AEC_TEXT_NOTEs and AEC_REF_DOCS nested at all levels in a drawing. If you can pick it, XNOTES will show you all the notes and references attached to an object and to all its parents as well, including xrefs and anonymous blocks.
It will report if the reference documents are found as well as their size and last-modified date, and permit you to open them if they are associated with an application. You can even CopyClip the notes to the Windows clipboard.

$99

X2Z

Globally change block insertions to make the Z scale factor equal to the X scale factor.

$24

XYZ

Interactively change the X, Y, and Z scale factors of inserted blocks.

$24
