Support spaces for bearing input in geometry tools

The geometry tools should allow for spaces between degrees minutes and seconds (N78 34 22E). This format is supported in the Geometry Builder but not the other geometry tools and the inconsistence is frustrating. Currently you have to enter either...

Ability to assign name and/or number to horizontal geometry PC/PT/PI/CC/etc

Or maybe auto-assigning sequential number with the ability to add a prefix based on Feature Definition? Some clients require labeling the horizontal geometry points with a name/number that coincides with tables/reports. This applies to roadway geo...

Snap control for 3d cut profile attachment

We need a snap setting to be active by default for self-attached attachments created by 3d cuts in profiles. Currently, the snap setting is set to off by default, which forces us to always turn it on manually in the attachments dialog, which is an...

Bring back "Depends On" in the Properties

It is my understanding that this was removed in the 2024 version due to general confusion, but I'd like it to be added back. If it is made toggleable, it can be turned off by default to avoid the aforementioned confusion, and this allows those tha...

Make Plan by 3D Element tool create Geometry with "Active Profile" to be usable

Unlike the OpenRoads v8i functionality for this tool, Plan by 3D Element does not create Geometry that has an Active Profile and therefore can't be used for the majority of functions users want by default, namely Point Controls (in ORD and OBM Dec...

Ruled Copy Enhancement to Complex By Element Tool

There is currently not a way to create a ruled copy of an element when using the Complex By Element tool. Being able to create a ruled copy of a range of segments and curves into a complex element with a different feature definition would be a hel...

Chevron Pavement Marking Tool

This tool would replace the old Geopak tool that created chevrons with minimal effort. It's certainly possible to create chevrons by hand with the current tools, but it takes significantly more time for what was a pretty quick task. I think the ol...

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...

Profile projection tools for crossfall relative to Target element

In legacy software, we had the option to either project crossfall from one element to another relative/normal to the reference element or relative/normal to the target element. We do not seem to have this functionality in ORD currently (although t...
