Defining a Pond Slope Template
Use the Define Template command to define an existing 2D polyline as a pond
slope template. The pond slope template is saved as a file with an .htp extension
in the c:\Land Projects R2\<project name>\hd folder.
NOTE
If you define more than one pond slope template, then use the Set Current
command to set the current template before applying a template to a
pond perimeter.
To define a pond slope template
1 Draw the pond slope template by using the Draw command or the AutoCAD
PLINE command.
2 From the Grading menu, choose Pond Slopes ä Define Template to display the
Define Template dialog box.
