Patch Product More Often

I will use ORD as an example. I, along with many others, have chosen to remain on ORD 10.12 due to a constant string of issues with more current releases. Most recently, I tried to upgrade a project from 10.12 to 24. This resulted in my Text File ...

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...

In legacy versions of the software, I can have the template library open on one screen, corridor modeler on another screen, and the CAD window open on a third screen. I can make/save changes in the template, make/save changes in the corridor model...

Make it possible to apply various symbology on one alignment

Many times an alignment is partly existing and partly new or changed. In the drawings this should be shown with different symbology and annotation, something that is not easy in ORD. A tool that can do this would be very useful!

Reassign/Reattach Civil Labels

It would be nice to have the ability to reattach civil labels to a new element or terrain. A good example is for jointing/geometric sheets with a lot of spot elevations. Fairly often a new terrain is created and the spots break and need to be repl...

Annotate Slope of terrain between points in Cross Sections

Civil labeler only works for 3D linear features (points). It`s impossible to annotate the slope from the terrain between two points. If you try that, the whole terrain section is selected and the command fails. A great example is a cross section o...

Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...
