Only new and changed settings are documented. As South Africa has no true drawings standards the styles provided should give results that are familiar to the users and to be similar to other civil design software in some cases.The content is an example of what is possible and to what a user of AutoCAD Civil 3D should require to start using the product from out of the box.For any organisation, the templates provided should be used as a base to adjust the content for their own needs where some changes to layer names, colours , linetypes and drawing border frames can be achieved with only AutoCAD knowledge.The templates then could be located on a network location so to standardise that organisation with consistent results. Any styles created on the fly for specific needs can be always dragged and dropped back into the master templates for reuse.The country kit is an ongoing development and is based on user feedback, so please feel free to suggest additions, amendments as needed. These are assisted by an example drawing and user case.The new QTO feature also will be enhanced over time to support other methods of measurement in due course.OverviewSouth Africa Country Kit contains folders mention below:_Autodesk Civil 3D 2015 RSA.dwt template for South African styles for Civil 3D objects and labels.RSA Pipes Catalog: Folder with pipes files that correspond with Parts Lists (styles) in the template.RSA Structures CatalogPlan Production: Folder with templates that contains settings for Plan ProductionCorridor Design Standards: A setup file for Design Criteria and Superelevation for Corridor models based on AASHTO standards.Quantity Reports: Folder within files containing settings for generating reports of volume for Corridor models or dynamic tables in the current drawing.Toolbox: Containing reports, which can be run from the Toolbox tab in the Toolspace?Assemblies: Folder containing drawings with predefined assemblies that can be used with the Intersection functionality.Toolspace is the Primary Civil 3D property window. This window is used for handling Civil 3D objects and settings of all Civil 3D styles for Civil 3D objects and labels.The Toolspace has two important tabs:Prospector. Use this tab for handling properties and styles for Civil 3D objects and labels.Settings. Use this tab for general settings of Civil 3D styles.ProspectorAny Civil 3D object contains its own style. This style controls the Civil 3D object appearance (object and label) in the drawing. The Prospector tab in the Toolspace is the Primary window for handling property, styles and commands for all Civil 3D objects.From the Prospector tab in the Toolspace it is possible to create, copy or edit styles for Civil 3D objects. In addition to this labels are generated as dynamic data mostly annotative.SettingsCivil 3D objects are generated with their own styles when created in the drawing with a Civil 3D command.It is recommended to start from the RSA template and bring data into that templateHere it is possible to create, copy or edit Civil 3D styles. Note that new or edited styles will not automatically be saved in the template. This has to be done manually with Drag and Drop.All styles are set to Bylayer so that control of colour, linetype, lineweight, on or off etc can be controlled through the layer manager and also enables the use of XREF into plain AutoCAD software.As there are many layers, filters have been added to make it quick and easy to navigate the layersColoursA suggested line colour scheme has been implemented to give suitable results from plotting.Your current plot styles should be adapted to suit the template, or alternatively the template must be adjust according to your current ctb files.The primary AutoCAD colours have been reserved for black linework in varying thicknesses and colours from 10 are retained as colour in 2.5mm thicknessBlack/white color.
