Point on Tangent Annotation Group

This is an enhancement request to recognize that POT's are different from PI's. Presently ORD can not distinguish between the 2 different types of points. We want to use separate labels, "PI" and "POT". Our enhancement request is to distinguish be...

Calculation of track length

A function that calculates the length of the tracks with turnouts withdrawn would be very helpful to calculate the amount of rails. The lengths of rails between turnout points 1 - 2 and 1-3 should be automatically redrawn from the lengths and repo...

Enable the “Zoom” feature within the Survey Field Book

Within the Survey Field Book of ORD, the right-click context menu offers a “Zoom” option. This should, I presume, fit all the selected survey features into view. It doesn’t work but would be very useful if it did. (Please see the attached image)

Convert smart civil annotation to plain text

The ability to easily convert smart civil annotations to plain text will make it much easier to share annotations with other disciplines in DWG format. Also, sometimes we just do not want smart annotations within our drawings. Currently have to do...

Configuration to point to template library folder location

Plan Annotation by station range

It would be useful to have the ability to annotate only part of the horizontal alignment. There are situations where we need to have several different annotation groups along the alignment.

Correct the 'Thematic Slopes Display Style' to provide a single colour per triangle when displaying terrain triangle slopes.

Some of the older designers will recall the display "Colour-Coded Slopes" within InRoads, where DTM triangles could be shaded a single colour based on their resultant grade. As per the laws of geometry, one triangle could only be assigned one colo...

Control the level/feature definition of surface templates selection layer

Currently when you select a surface template in 3D view, a ghost mesh element under the "Default" level appears. I believe this element defines the surface template as a whole. There is presently no way of controlling this element to assign it a f...
