GEOPAK Drainage gave you inlet calcs after you placed an inlet and assigned a catchment without having to run a scenario. We need this functionality in ORD

In Geopak Drainage, once you place a node and attached a catchment, you were able to see inlet calculations. This let the user know if they needed to shift the box to have an allowable spread. It would be great if we could get that feedback withou...

Named Boundary Creation - Option to Not Use Saved Views!

When creating named boundaries of any time, a saved view is created for each named boundary. The creation of a saved view is a method that is supposed to control the look and feel of the drawing/sheet, but it is over-complicated, poorly understood...
