Several Civil 3D users had requested a curve solver tool similar to what is available in Land Desktop. Well Peter Funk, of Autodesk, provided a .dvb tool that can be loaded to the "Toolbox", which is a tab of the "Toolspace".
In order to use this tools we need to...
1. Download "Curve Solver" utility from the Civil 3D Community Utilities Page.
2. Unzip and store .dvb file.
3. Select "Toolbox" from the "General" Menu pulldown.
4. Select "Edit Toolbox content" icon (See image - second red icon).
5. In the "Toolbox Editor" vista of the "Panorama" create desired Categories.
6. In the "Toolbox Editor" vista of the "Panorama" Rt-click and choose "New Tool".
7. Configure new tool similar to image below.
8. Press Green Checkmark to save and close "Panorama".
9. Double-click tool in "Toolbox" to use.
Thanks Peter, this will help.

Please note that in step 7 the Macro name should be "CurveSolver".
Be aware, while entering included angle you need to be entering decimal degrees and not degrees minutes seconds.

Allen, This curve solver plug-in was for the 2007 version. If you are using 2008 select "Curve Calculator" under the "Line/Curves" menu pulldown.
I have searched far and wide for this Curve Solver, and can't seem to find it. Can you provide a direct link to the download page for it, or provide the program on this site?
In later versions of Civil 3D it is possible to type "CurveCalculator" at the command line to bring up the current version of the calculator.
The plug-in that was originally mention by this post was available for 2007. It was since included in Civil 3D.
I found this lisp and dcl on autodesk's forum, and it does the job nicely.
