Add direction in the Ditch's line style

The option to follow the longitudinal slope for Line Styles will be helpful for users that has already have a custom line style for their ditch but their current line style is following the stationing of the alignment. This causes a major issue wh...

Utility Overhead Conduits/Nodes

Current Limitations Currently, creating overhead conductors between two "Overhead Nodes" (e.g., utility poles) results in a straight-line conduit. In reality, these lines always exhibit a natural sag due to gravity and tension forces. To model sag...

Turnout Creation Wizard

Developing turnouts in the new software can be quite cumbersome. If there was a wizard that allowed users to input known common pieces of geometry in a more descriptive and graphical fashion, it would help significantly. When geometry elements are...

Warn users while detaching references whose labels are annotated in active file

civil labeler allows us to label civil geometry elements from reference files. Simply placing labels appears to apply the civil schema to the active dgn file.User like to have a warning when users detach reference files whose elements are labeled ...

Automate the creation of plan-plan sheets with different views of the same station range.

We often do sheets where the same station range is shown, plan on top and bottom, but they have different information. For instance, the top plan view might be a staking overview where the bottom plan might be a jointing diagram. Both have the sam...

Event Point List annotation

To annotate event points you must specify the name of the event point list in the annotation group. This requires each user to name their event point list exactly as per the annotation group or the event points will not be annotated. This is not l...

Allow "Create 3D By Slope To Target" 3D element to be dropped (exploded) to regular 3D Smartline

If you create a 3D slope line using the tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" the result becomes an intelligent line dynamically linked to the horizontal/vertical geometry which is great, however, there are times when we would like to be able to qui...

Improvement of the "Geometry Connector" to simplify for the user

Suggested improvements: Automatically fill in the correct radius of transition curves/clothoids. Make an option somewhere (civil design file settings?) to select if you want to give transition curve values "by length" or "by constant". If you choo...

Enable 3D annotation from 2D annotation

It would be advantageous to be able to link 3D annotation to 2D annotation. In order to be able to create stationing as 3D text on an alignment in a 3D model, you currently need to do it manually. It would be desirable if you could link a 2D anno...

Insert Vertex tool

Tool that adds vertex at chosen interval to a selected element segments. The "facet" tool is supposed to achieve this, but it is not designed to respect original element vertexes. So it ends up modifing the element path. The tool should work insid...
