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...

Use parametric cells for creation and management of sign structures and sign bridges

This would be very similar to the way that OBM creates and manages bents, columns, footings, etc. This would allow for more rapid population of custom vertical sign items in our 3D design environments. By this I mean items of different sizes, span...

Lock stationing to an XY coordinate.

Update the tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" to add better functionality when applied to regular 3D MicroStation linework

The tool "Create 3D By Slope To Target" can currently be applied to regular 3D MicroStation linework, but it doesn't work very well at all, assuming due to it's reliance on stroking. It is often much more efficient/simple to create certain design ...

Openroads designer annotation groups extend the white space management to all items

Right now only the text element can have the "manage modification" turn to true. This mean that only text will not move when doing annotation. The white space management, or manage modification to placement annotation should be avaiable to all ite...

Ability to modify 'Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factor' for a specific catchment or range of catchments.

Currently there is only an option to add Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factors for the entire storm, which affects all catchments. Our GDOT standards require modification of the factor for only C values less than 0.6.

Ability to edit Annotation Groups in any model

It's a little cumbersome to keep going back and forth between models when developing annotation groups. An alternative could be to be able to select the geometry that is shown as the example when in the annotation group manager.

Add ON/OFF toggle option to Civil Labeler for Arrow Head

Just like you already have the option to toggle on and off a Box Frame or Text Divider around a label and the option to have a leader line or not, we would find it very useful to have the option to toggle ON/OFF an arrowhead.

Add a position tick mark to the Survey Decorators

Inroads allowed the user to toggle a tick mark, such as a plus symbol (+), to show the position of any survey point in the fieldbook. Very useful. ORD allows the toggling of many different attributes of a point by using Survey Decorators. Please a...
