Ability to print without needing to go through named boundaries

We were previously able to drop a border cell in any file to easily be able to print and now it is not

Contact (3rd) Rail tools

It would be great to have a set of tools to model a contact (third) rail - this is used by many transit systems as a traction power source for trains. There are enough nuances to the design of this rail that it warrants a dedicated tool with the a...

Move complex alignment

I would like the ability to move a complex alignment without breaking any alignment relationships or losing the profile. This way I can keep any elements that are associated with the alignment intact, just moved to a new location with the alignment.

Key Station with civil rule

Key stations can now solely be places with a station input. In many cases the location of your Key Stations depends on the position of other elements, like geometry for example. Being able to give key stations a civil rule - like the Persist Snap ...

Propagate change to geometry when Updating in Rail Settings

When importing or creating a new geometry, a virtual transition length may be needed to the geometry, even when it is not needed. Sometimes, changes are already done to the geometry. Is there a way to propagate the changes through once we update t...

Being able to add/remove references that are stored inside cross sectional saved view

Rather than creating a new cross sectional named boundary, it would be convenient for the saved views to synchronize with 3D reference window and level display. There could even be a feature to toggle this feature on and off for a saved view.

Single Offset Partial/Entire Element creates complex elements with the ability to add/remove tapers

One of the factors prohibiting the use of civil geometry in plan production is that it can often feel cumbersome to implement design changes without 'breaking' your previous work. Let's say you have an intersection designed using civil geometry, a...

Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?

Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.

Ability to superscript and underline the decimal digits for spot elevation annotation

Currently it is not possible to format only the decimal digits of the annotation. The user wants to annotate the spot elevation in a custom format where the decimal units are having superscript and the underline. The option from DIN Dimensioning o...

Ability to turn on and off geometry and switches by track

Currently OpenRail Designer allows to turn on and off geometry according to FD. However, there are cases where it is more useful to turn on and off tracks by track name, rather by FD. This could help the process of creating drawings faster. Simila...
