Ability to control the directory opened when importing text files to fieldbooks

Currently, when importing text files to fieldbooks the directory opens in the last used directory. It would be useful to control this behavior so that it can open in the directory where the active DGN is located. This can function similar to the c...

Civil Labeler - add ability to use from explorer

Civil Labeler is powerful, but the labeler menu is super annoying (table tree defaults to closed). Just like civil cells can be added through explorer, it seems like civil labeler could be done the same way

Element Annotation - include "secondary" in addition to "override"

Most alignments we use have 2 defaults or less - having to hunt and peck through the override tree is time consuming

Add By Linear Element option to Analyze Catchment (by Terrain Model) tool

Be able to select a linear element (eg. edge of road pavement) that the Analyze Catchment tool computes catchment areas from a terrain model for. The tool currently only has a Use Fence option which can still take a long time. If one can narrow it...

Allow new Line of Sight analysis to be included in Civil Cells

The new Line of Sight tool is a great addition to the visibility toolset, however, automated repetitive checks are still not possible. As the "standard" Line of Sight checks are usually for things like approach to stop lines and fixed objects, int...

Variable for Location Preference After Moving Annotation Text

A configuration variable (or dgnlib setting), to control the 'Location' setting of Annotation Text is desired. Images of the setting included. Currently the Location setting for annotation text can be set to Default, Relative or Fixed; Default is ...

Replacing the end element(s) of a complex element

There should be tools to allow the end elements in a complex element to be replaced by the designer. The Redefine tool can be fine for elements in the middle and the append tool may be fine for just adding but if I want, for example, to swap the l...

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).

Have LandXML export support b-spline curves as a geometry type

This would benefit users who are trying to export their geometry using LandXML as the export format. Currently, bspline curves in an alignment are not supported by LandXML export and have to be manipulated to export the geometry.
