Most people have maybe one or two server license of Raster Design. Once you have finished doing what you need to do in the program use :IUNLOAD.
This will release the license you had open and make it available to other users. Just keep in mind you will have to shut Acad down in order to run RasterDesign again.

Here is a quick example on how to create a Command to run in a toolbar. First thing you want to do is decide what toolbar you want the Command/Macro to run in. I have a separate CUI that follow me around version to version. If you were to add custom commands to the Acad or Civil CUI for example, when you upgrade versions you would have to remember what you added to those menus and that is to much thinking. So Create your own CUI/Menu!

Working with a large topo file?? Turn OFF the Level of detail View and it will significantly increase your speed.
Go to your View tab->View panel->Lavel of Detail
Once selected it will give you this warning
Command Line Variables=LevelOfDetail and LevelOfDetailOff
When you zoom out the amount of drawing data decreases, while you zoom in the amount increases..Plotting is not effected.

Don't forget when setting up your C3D2013 to check the "Automatically save workspace changes". Nothing like getting all your menus and toolbars set, exit C3D and get in later and your stuff is gone.......
