GEOPAK ROAD TOOLS:

Geopak Corporation, has developed a set of very handy icons, referred to as Geopak Road Tools.   These can be accessed by invoking the TOOLS palette.   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.

To invoke this palette 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 palette 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.
