ParkCAD 5.0 Help
Design Manager
Tools > Design Manager

Allows multiple iterations of a parking design to be saved and recalled. An iteration is associated with a particular design symbol in the drawing. Each parking design can have its own design symbol and independent set of iterations. Whenever a parking design is selected, the lots and rows associated with the design will be highlighted in the drawing.

To open the Design Manager dialog box, click Design Manager on the ParkCAD toolbar or ribbon.
