Drainage Annotation rotation based on sheet view rotation

Currently, the only rotation options for drainage annotation is constant. With alignments that are curving, our sheets must change rotation. It would save a lot of time spent manually adjusting rotation on each sheet.

Prevent remaining elements to move when start element is deleted with "Geometry Builder Edit"

Now the remaining alignment is moved so that the previous start point is kept and all elements are moved. An option to keep the alignment endpoint instead would be nice.

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...

Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...

Ability to define the slope of any points within the dynamic section using the measure tools

Having the ability to quickly check both existing and design crossfall/superelevation would increase efficiency within the program as there would be no requirement to run a template and report to evaluate existing cross slopes

Visible final contour labels in corridor

After the corridor is created, it is possible to see the final contours. However, the contour elevation labels are not shown unless a proposed surface is created. Why is that so? I believe it would be beneficial to toggle on/off contour elevation ...

Ability to export and import all corridor objects such as point controls to enable rebuilding of corridors

I know parametric constraints can be exported but if a corridor becomes corrupt then being able to rebuild it from scratch easily would be useful. Similar to an input file in MX

Deed Writer - Multiple Deed Phrase Catalogs

Our deed phrases can vary slightly by client. It would be helpful if there was a way to create, edit, and access multiple deed phrase catalogs to more easily switch between client preferences.

Multiple Scales For Text/Annotative Items

Allowing multiple scales for text and annotative items or something similar. Especially when working with one survey in multiple files of different scales, it can be hard to get things to show up correctly, even when using the "Master" scale in th...

Live nesting set to 99 when using "Create 3d cut" in Profile View

When using "Create 3d cut" in Profile View the live nesting depth is by default set equal to 99. Basically file becomes heavy when live nesting automatically in the depth of 99 set with the tool "Create 3d Cut" in Profile.
