Skewed key stations

I had a situation where I wanted to model Interstate NB and SB as separate and cut them off of the median cl. I was unable to get the tie slopes to tie to existing ground when cutting cross sections. Adding "key stations" at a skew would resolve t...

Make Excel File exports from reports a non-shared document

When exporting a report to an Excel file, the .xlsx is saved as a shared workbook. This functionality can cause OneDrive saving errors, as well as limited capability when using the workbook itself. This request is to turn that setting off in the E...

Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...

Analyze Trace Slope Tool enhancements

A couple suggestions for this tool: 1) Be abl e to see the dynamic slope line without first placing a line. I have to click somewhere in my file for it to place the line in the 3 D model before I am able to see the line at all. After this line is...

The text from annotation groups doesn`t follow the view rotation or the ACS. Just the global. This makes it unpratical and unhelpful.. Most plan sheets doesn`t follow the true north rotation and have an ACS. I don`t know if this is a bug or just n...

Add Single Point Arc that is identical to InRoads Surveys

The Sigle Point Arc command in InRoads survey would create true tangent arcs from the incoming and outgoing tangents. The ArcSingle in Open Roads does not. This frequently results in bulges in figures if the uncoded PC and PT points are not perfec...

Don't duplicate densification of template drops

When defining model requirements, we want to define the template drop interval and a stroking distance to densify template drops through vertical and horizontal curves. This will insure that models are designed to meet construction standards and s...

Send to Back

Add a “Send to Back” feature for vector linework (what order you see and print levels in). Currently there is a "Bring to Front" option. AUTOCAD has this feature and I think it would be very helpful to not only me. Thank you.
