Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Add temporary/permanent button on civil analysis tool for placing graphic elements, or at least make them a graphic group to make removing them easier and more complete.

When I use the civil analysis tool, I sometimes place the displayed graphics (elevation, contour, triangle) into the drawing to have a record. The problem is when I am done with the graphic and want to remove them, I have to select each component ...

Additional Measure and Draw tools for Dynamic Sections

I would like a set of tools that I can measure and draw slopes with in the dynamic sections. I can use temporary dimensions for the active corridor elements only, but I would like to get the slopes of elements in adjacent corridors that are in my ...

Convert smart civil annotation to plain text

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...

option to have the Named Boundaries "Show the Create Drawing Dialog" toggle stay on

As a designer it would be great to have an option to have the tool active as the default. There are very few instances where I would create sheets without this active. I know the other designers in our department operate the same way as well.

Viewing Corridor Object and Dynamic Cross Section Tools in Read-Only

I sometimes have to look at another user's Corridor file to get additional details. If I reference in their file or open it read only, I'm not able to open up Corridor Objects to see what template they are using. It would be useful to allow me to ...

Designing Geometry using multiple spiral type

Currently we can set up one spiral type for one DGN. If the geometry needs to be designed using different spiral type, we need the flexibility to allow the application of multiple spiral type in one DGN
