Report Station Equations in Horizontal Alignment report similar to GeoPAK

Horizontal geometry reports are confusing when there are station equations at cardinal points. A few of our surveyors have commented on this and I can see where they’re coming from. I’ve attached three example geometry reports. Their names ind...

Improve Geometry Builder interface

Often Surveyors are responsible for generating exi sting alignments from limited data (in plans or collected in field.) We have identified that using the Geometry Builder can be a "wo rkaround" but it is clunky and there are more steps involved th...

Export alignment in read-only file as LandXML

I have opened an ORD .dgn design in read-only mode. This is not uncommon, especially when using ProjectWise and the file is either at coordination/shared state, or checked out to another user. However, it is not possible to export the alignment us...

Civil Labeler - Add ability to use in Sheet Model

Please add the option to use Civil Labeler in sheet models. For some sheets, there is no readily-apparent need to create a drawing model (e.g. for schematic-type drawings with no dimensions), so we only create a sheet model. Unfortunately, this pr...

Allow Civil Labeler to work with regular MicroStation Smartlines

Currently, Civil Labeler is limited to ORD Geometry/Elements etc. but sometimes we have regular linework drawn as basic MicroStation smartlines in which we need to call out Coordinates and Elevations. Civil Labeler should have the ability to do this.

Extend 2D profile terrain limits beyond element

The ability to extend a profile's terrain cut using the 2D quick profile tool would be helpful for all profile types - but specifically drainage. I'd like to be able to set a buffer distance that extends existing and proposed surface cuts beyond t...

Georeferenced Sheet Models

Sheet models do not inherit the coordinate system from the Design model when created. The goal is to be able to create a georeferenced pdf that lays flat on aerial photography.

Add reflect option for DU cells.

Implement a way to minimize the number of cells by allowing reflecting and mirroring of nodes during placement and manipulation.

Allow "Save Settings" to save your preferred default settings in the Feature Definition Tool Bar

Many users prefer different settings to be selected by default in the Feature Definition Tool Bar. Currently, "Persist Snaps and Rule" is always ON by default when opening a file but nothing else. Even if you turn this off, or activate another set...
