Enable the “Zoom” feature within the Survey Field Book

Within the Survey Field Book of ORD, the right-click context menu offers a “Zoom” option. This should, I presume, fit all the selected survey features into view. It doesn’t work but would be very useful if it did. (Please see the attached image)

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...

Plan Annotation by station range

It would be useful to have the ability to annotate only part of the horizontal alignment. There are situations where we need to have several different annotation groups along the alignment.
