LIFT vrs slew report

Hi would be very helpful to get a lift vrs Slew report at set chainages along an alignment. This would help the designer see if they are designing enough lift in the track to achieve the slews, without going to the drawing production stage

Enhance Design Standards to flag gaps in Geometry & apply to Feature Definitions

Additional functionality is needed for Design Standards to be fully functional for project delivery. Some additional thins include: Allow Design Standards to be optionally assigned to Alignment Feature Definitions so Alignments are created with th...

Add Conduit To Existing Profile Run

It would be very helpful if there was a way to simply Add a Conduit to an existing Profile Run. For example, I have a storm network modeled and a bunch of drawings created by using a Profile Run, but now I needed to add another conduit at the end ...

Use Annotation Groups to add Hatching / Pattern elements and Dimension Elements

We have several sheets where we want certain lines that have specific feature definitions to have a dimension on the plans. We also have several shapes that we always want to show hatching or patterns appearing on the plans. Right now we have to m...

Field with station range of named boundary

It would be great if we could create a field (text favorite) that would label the station begin and end of a named boundary for an index of sheets layout.

Add option for rounding corners when using the "Geometry Offsets and Tapers" Tool

With regular MicroStation lines, when using the "move parallel" tool (Offset), there is an option to choose "Round" which creates rounded corners for the offset line. There should be a similar option when using the ORD Tool "Offsets and Tapers." C...

Add profile annotation location option for annotating conduit description only once

If a conduit is perfectly straight, then it is easy to put the description once in the middle, but if the conduit has any bends then each segment gets annotated. Adding an option for annotation frequency with location controls would fix this.

One button downgrade and export

While we are in a transition phase between the old v8i to the ORD dgn files, we sometimes receive files in the wrong dgn format. The steps to downgrade to a v8i backwards compatible file involves too many steps and introduces units and coordinate ...

Annotating plan elements on profile

We have a client need to streamline the process to annotate the horizontal geometry on the profile. The need is to call out the curve compensation that is calculated at horizontal curves and displayed with a dimension line. As well adding in the h...

Non automatic update of cant values in cant table

This comment is coupled with another idea I had regarding selective update of annotations. Again the problem stems directly from the dynamic nature of ORD. Usually the process to create a cant for an alignment goes as follows: -Creation of speed t...
