UPDATED 3-9-2010: Revised steps required for authorization. If you are having issues authorizing, please see the revised steps below. Thanks!
Starting today, Engineered Efficiency has made its popular EE ProPack CadMgr Civil 3D add-on available for free. Registration is required, but it is a true freeware application.
As a free product, there is no official support, so we set up a forum to assist end users and facilitate user-to-user community support.
Overview here:

After you download, follow these steps:
- BEFORE you install, complete this Request Form
- After we receive your request, we will add you to the database and send you a serial number
- Install the EE ProPack CadMgr and launch Civil 3D
- To display EE ProPack palette, type EEPROPACK at command line
- The download also includes trial versions of EE ProPack Base and EE ProPack Hydro
- Once the palette is showing,right-click on a palette tab
- Choose Cad Manager from the pop-up to switch to the free Cad Manager tools

- Click Next and enter the rest of the required info, including your serial number
- Click Next again to submit the request.
- NOTE 1: Ignore the button labeled “Click Here to Purchase EE ProPack”. That button is a vestige from when EE ProPack CADMgr was a purchase-only product.
- NOTE 2: After clicking next, you should see a dialog informing you that your request was successfully submitted. If you do NOT, you can manually submit your information to eepropack.auth at eng-eff dot com. Send the following info:
- First and Last Name
- Company Name

- Once your request is verified, you will receive an Authorization code from the EE automated system.
- Click Authorize EE ProPack from the Help tab again and choose Enter Authorization Code.
- Enjoy!
Please share this with your colleagues and let us know what you think.
Enjoy!
[...] OK, it’s a bit of a slow day on the Subscription post, so Mark and the guys at EE decided to liven it up apparently. Look, if you’re a CadManager, or even just the guy in charge of managing the template, and you don’t have ProPack yet, go get it now. [...]

Wow! Nearly 100 requests in 2 days! Serial numbers should start arriving in your inboxes soon, in they haven’t already. Thanks for the great response.
please be sure to discuss the application in the Forum on this site.

wow that’s awesome. Thanks guys
Curious – will this be ported to the impending new release, presumably Civil 3D 2011? Or does it care? I would guess there are changes to structure. For instance, if a template has been ported to 2011, then the import/export styles/cmd settings tool should be able to write to those locations, yes?
