Civil configuration variables exist for opening a default/workset template library (CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY) and for the default path when performing a save as on a template library (CIVIL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY_SAVEAS) but when opening a...
Tabular profile annotation to include speed table values
As a light rail design engineer I want to produce profiles with a lot of information to be able to check a maximum amount of information on a single document.On critical information for light rail design is the maximum speed. This is because light...
We place grade elevation labels on our plans typically at a 30 degree angle from the view. Currently, the civil labeler only allows for rotation to be set to "View Horizontal" or "View Vertical" regarding placement as it relates to the active view...
Add a “Chord" Toggle to all the Horizontal Curve Tools
To have to go to the Back Stage and select Settings ==> File ==> Design File Settings ==> Civil Formatting ==> Degree of Curve Method to change from an Arc Defined Curve to Chord Defined Curve is not a good workflow. In our State we ca...
This is an enhancement request to recognize that POT's are different from PI's. Presently ORD can not distinguish between the 2 different types of points. We want to use separate labels, "PI" and "POT". Our enhancement request is to distinguish be...
Challenges when different template components/features share the same name but with different assigned feature definitions
Suppose you have a corridor with two different template drops. The first template has a component called "pavement_left" with a feature definition "pvmt_ friction _course". The second template has a component also called "pavement_left" with a fea...
The ability to easily convert smart civil annotations to plain text will make it much easier to share annotations with other disciplines in DWG format. Also, sometimes we just do not want smart annotations within our drawings. Currently have to do...
Configuration to point to template library folder location
it would be helpful if there was a way to set a configuration variable to point to a folder (instead of a specific itl file) when the template library is opened. Our frustration with pointing to a specific file is that the first person to open the...
Enable the “Zoom” feature within the Survey Field Book
Within the Survey Field Book of ORD, the right-click context menu offers a “Zoom” option. This should, I presume, fit all the selected survey features into view. It doesn’t work but would be very useful if it did. (Please see the attached image)
I would like to create labels using the civil labeler that all have a rectangular frame with a fixed width. Currently, the frame width is based only on the width of the text favorite and whatever offset is specified. I would like the ability to sp...
