I have Civil 3D 2013 and would like to define the station tick marks. Unfortuantely, the only style that appears on the Import pull down is "Standard". How do I go about downloading or loading from an appropriate program folder the "Tick" style set? Thanks.
You can import styles and settings from another drawing by using the IMPORTSTYLESANDSETTING command.
Alternatively you can drag and drop then from the prospector tab when set to Master View

To change the tick appearance or text appearance click on the tick or text of the alignment and in the green ribbon select edit label group. Here you can adjust or create styles for marking major, minor and geometry points. Select the station type, use the edit pull down to copy the "standard" definition, rename it to what you like and adjust away in the editor. You can create and delete ticks and text for each type of station. You will need to add/delete components in the layout tab - and if adding a tick it must be a block that is already in your drawing - if you have a specialized tick that you'd like to see insert it and then delete the instance, now it will be available for selection. Text is also handled here. The ellipsis button under geometry points gives you greater control of when text should and should not be displayed.
If you only have STANDARD, you apparently did not use a template (.dwt) to begin your drawing. You should check to see if you have templates for your area.
