Ability for Cross Sections to be split or have match lines if the Model Extend Outside of Default limits

Currently our DOTs require that if elements are outside the width of the default limit, the user needs to create a matchline and/or split the cross sections. Currently this is a very manual process. This should be more automated.

Named Boundary Creation - Option to Not Use Saved Views!

When creating named boundaries of any time, a saved view is created for each named boundary. The creation of a saved view is a method that is supposed to control the look and feel of the drawing/sheet, but it is over-complicated, poorly understood...

Add "Set Feature Definition" Tool to the Feature Definition Tool Bar

The "Set Feature Definition" Tool should be added to the Feature Definition Tool Bar rather than having to go digging around to find it. It coincides with "Match Feature Definition" which is already part of the tool bar.

Compound and Reverse Curve Annotation

There is no civil geometry property exposed for "Arc Begin Point Label" or "Arc End Point Label". This leads to a discrepancy in the way that points are labeled for PCC and PRC on the alignment when compared to the curve data table. These annotati...

Trench Templates to automatically constrain themselves based on the pipe size

Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...
