Create 3D Automatically should inherit elevations from civil points if you draw a civil line and snap to the points

For detail grade areas it would be nice to place points in plan view and snap lines to those points. The lines would have annotation groups assigned to them to label the slope and distance between the points. Grades could then easily be tweaked by...

Element Annotation - White Space Management (manage modification) for Lines

The Element Annotation is incredibly powerful (and fast) but the lack of ability to move the leader (as you can with the civil labeler) is a critical issue. Please add the ability to "stick" or snap the line to the text when the text is moved. The...

Pick fill color for civil label border frame

For exhibitions it would be useful to add a setting to the civil labeler to be able to add a fill color to the border frame. Now we need to create a different shape behind the label and if the label is moved you need to move the shape in another step
