Turnout in exportable file

It would be very useful to have a way of bringing geometry including turnouts between models i.e. as in the .alg files. Rather than having to use a dgn. With large alignment files, they are a lot more manageable/faster when split into smaller sect...

Text Along Element for all text element types

The text-along element already exist as a microstation tool, It would be nice if that tool would be able to be used in all civil label options.

Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins

Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...

curved corners in bridge geometry

OBM should allow o define sharp corners for decks and barriers (in addition to rounded). Currently every turn is interpolated using spline type of line, without control from user end (regardless of the manipulation for the chord and distance betwe...

Annotation of 3D features only on Xsection

It is usual request to annotate 3D features on cross sections. At point or in frame. It does work when feature is 2D+3D but not if feature is 3D only. That is commong with existing ground and more and more with modelling using linear features (wit...

Superelevation Rounding

Can there be added functionality to force rounding up rather than just being a standard rounding of what is set in the superelevation file editor? As it sits currently, if your rounding is set to 1, if a curve meets a value between 0 and .5 the su...

Static Item Type Expression values

Currently Item Types with Expressions update whenever properties are displayed. etc and are always "live" even via referencing, etc. This causes many issues where the original Excel lookup spreadsheet or Civil data is not present (when viewed in M...

Placing Multiple Note Labels at Once

I am manually annotating cross sections (~90 total) due to the drawing model annotation tool not working properly. Therefore this idea came about after frequently using the "Note>Place Label" tool and these two feature names: XS Offset & XS...
