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:

[...] 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. [...]
right – on & thank you ! – hope all is well!
later!

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.
Mark
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?
