GEOPAK Road Tools

GEOPAK has developed a set of very handy icons, referred to as GEOPAK Road Tools.   These can be accessed by invoking the TOOLS dialog.   Although throughout the "Knuckleheads Guide" I refer to accessing the applications via the pulldown menu, I encourage you to get familiar and to use the new GEOPAK Road Tools icons.

Screen shotTo invoke this dialog select....APPLICATIONS > GEOPAK ROAD > GEOPAK ROAD Tools.

Note:  All applications accessed via the "pulldowns" may also be accessed via it's "Tools" icon.

The TOOLS dialog is broken into 8 icon groups.   Each of the groups can be "torn off" or accessed by holding down on the mouse and sliding across.  

Beginning at the upper right corner of the dialog and proceeding clockwise, this is the layout:
