Ability to lock profile when start stationing changes
Right now (2022 R1) if an alignment with a profile is extended in the start, the profile moves together with the start of the alignment. Two wishes: Possibility to lock the profile elements in their present position. Possibility to move the whole ...
Calculation column in drainage and utilities flex table.
A formula could be made using existing columns to calculate a value that is atypical or not an option otherwise. I need a pipe full flow velocity check for a design. I can use excel to calculate using full flow capacity and full flow area but if t...
Productivity enhancements to Corridor Objects dialog
There are currently some things needed to be added to the Corridor Object dialog to help communicate design intent a bit better to users (especially with Parametric Constraints): The lack of information as to the rules linked to Parametric Constra...
Geometry>Standards>Set Element Information This tool seems to lend itself to recording and reviewing an alignment layout and design process and having it live in the dgn file vs an auxillary notepad or spreadsheet. As the design progresses i...
Support use of cell definitions for sleeper placements. Long sleeper sets placed at turnout locations, have variable width so these will still be using existing box shaped sleepers but normal sleepers will be using the cell based definitions. This...
A function that calculates the length of the tracks with turnouts withdrawn would be very helpful to calculate the amount of rails. The lengths of rails between turnout points 1 - 2 and 1-3 should be automatically redrawn from the lengths and repo...
