Civil XLR8 Extra: Captaining the Enterprise

Managing InRoads

InRoads has the incredible flexibility to do (virtually) all your engineering (almost always) exactly the way you want to do it.  

InRoads also has the ability to display the graphics exactly the way need to display theme; proper level, color, style, text size, font.  Everything.  Every time.  Without even paying much attention to it.  Just click the Apply button.

The catch:  someone has to preset the myriad settings.  This takes planning and time to execute.
