Using the Civil Object Enabler
 
 
 

Installing the Civil Object Enabler on any AutoCAD 2009 based product enables:

  • Support of basic AutoCAD commands on Land objects, such as List, Explode, Block, WBlock, and Copy
  • Snap points on the objects (so you can use Object Snaps)
  • Grip editing of Land objects (except for the grading object)

Without this enabler installed, you can share drawings using proxy graphics. Proxy graphics provide an alternative means to display objects using simple graphical representations. Objects represented as proxy graphics lack the full “intelligence” of true objects. AutoCAD uses this mechanism for DWG file compatibility if the custom application is not loaded.
