Load DGNLIB files on demand

It would be very helpful if it were possible to load DGNLIB files on demand instead of automatically. One example of this is Sheet Seed DGNLIB files. We do not need those unless we are creating sheets, and creating sheets is a very, very small por...

XSLT 2.0 Support - Civil Reports

Who would like to have more capable Civil Reports? Currently, OpenRoads Designer relies on the XSLT 1.0 Transformation Language for generating Civil Reports. This language was published in 1999, now 24 years ago. In 2009, a much more full-featured...

Improve Civil Analysis to another alignment

Wasn't sure whether to post this to technical support as a bug or here. This is a tiny concern in the greater scheme of things but a frustration nonetheless. Suppose you use civil analysis tool to track a horizontal alignment with an active vertic...

Ability to Transfer Full ConceptStation Models Between ConceptStation Files

If you have developed a complex ConceptStation model (including intersections, bridges, culverts, roundabouts, template transitions, street furniture, pavement markings, etc.), there is currently no capability to fully transfer the entire model be...

Reflect template for template drop

It would be very helpful if we could reflect a template while assigning it to a template drop. Templates currently can only be placed in the direction they were created, from template origin "out". This requires a duplication of templates, as sepa...

Plan Sheet Named Boundary trimmed to fit within Sheet Boundary

When placing plan named boundaries, they do not take into account the sheet extents. In curves the boundaries can extend beyond the sheets. Users then would need to go adjust the named boundaries manually after sheet creation, which then causes ad...

Deed Writer should be able to handle calculated inserts in the phrase option inserts.

This would allow for the phrase option inserts to use calculated values. Currently some phrases that we want to create as a phrase option have calculated values, but some do not.

Ability to Attach Non-Georeferenced Raster Imagery in ConceptStation

In OpenRoads Designer, the user is able to interactively attach a reference file containing a raster image and move the file freely within the model space once attached. Currently, only georeferenced raster imagery can be imported into ConceptStat...

Amend Create Ties (Sleepers) routine by adding an option to use parametric cells of the ties

The current tool is placing a rectangular block of variable sizes only. It works to timber (wood) ties, but it does not represent the actual concrete ties, such as high speed rail or any scalloped with notched rail seats. As we increase requiremen...

A way to manage multiple project ITL files

I'm not sure how best to implement it, but it's not uncommon to have multiple people working on a project with multiple corridor files. Having just one itl for the project would cause a lot of conflict and possible erros so multiple itl files are ...
