Data Exchange between Civil Designer and ModelMaker

Previously, importing a DTM file from Civil Designer into ModelMaker resulted in the loss of some breakline information. The user had to export the DTM as an ASCII file and then import the file into ModelMaker, but the breaklines were not included. In version 6.4 of Civil Designer, a new feature has been added to solve this problem
