Fix DIST Command in Survey to InRoads Survey Operation

The DIST Command in Open Roads is almost identical to the InRoads version with one problematic exception. Open Roads uses the last two actual shots to determine the direction to turn the 90-degree angle to generate its points. InRoads would allow ...

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...).

Give warning for invalid display rule expressions/names

When making Display Rules, give a warning when using expressions/names that are not acceptable (i.e. can't use parentheses in the name since they can be used in expressions)

Accudraw Integration with Civil Geometry Tools

Enable the ability to utilize Accudraw with the Civil Geometry tools [lock perpendicular to drawing compass]. Currently I do not know a way to draw perpendicular lines using the horizontal and vertical civil geometry tools unless I manually type i...

Ability to choose named boundary stations from another geometry

Would like to have a checkbox when creating corridors and named boundaries (particular to cross sections) to allow users to choose another geometry to pick start and stop stations. Example, I built an alignment alongside two other adjacent alignme...

Application to read DGN schema and open the relative ORD version

When opening a DGN file, have an application read the schema and then open the corresponding version of software. Currently, users with 'side by side' installation of ORD have to manually decide which product to open each time, and memorize which ...

Allow for Hydraulic calculations and profile creation while using tap nodes

Tap nodes are incredibly useful but do not allow for hydraulic modeling or for profile runs. I'd prefer to use tap nodes over transitions because they are easier to use and do not break trunklines into segments. This would help with profiles, pipe...

Allow multiple drainage node elevations to be simultaneously assigned to a terrain

It would be helpful if multiple drainage nodes could be assigned to a terrain in one step. This would solve a problem if someone deletes the proposed terrain that was used to initially layout the drainage system. Currently users have to update the...
