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...

Need a solution for moving Civil Cell dgnlib from Survey Foot to International Foot

As agencies transition from using the survey foot to the international foot, their workspaces in OpenRoads need to be thoroughly reviewed and updated. A critical component of these workspaces is civil cells. However, civil cells do not scale corre...

Invert Terrain Elevation

ASCII elevation data from hydrosurveys is delivered in positive depths making for an embankment instead of a channel. A function to multiply elevations by -1 would save a trip through Excel or a GIS program.

Develop and Annotate Partial Geometry

In my experience, it's common to tie a proposed vertical alignment into an existing vertical curve. This can be easily done with the geometry tools. However, the annotation is only drawn to where the proposed geometry terminates. While technically...

Report Station Equations in Horizontal Alignment report similar to GeoPAK

Horizontal geometry reports are confusing when there are station equations at cardinal points. A few of our surveyors have commented on this and I can see where they’re coming from. I’ve attached three example geometry reports. Their names ind...

Calculating Multiple Polygon Volumes using Analyze Volume from Terrain Model

The calculate volume tool only works on a single target polygon. If multiple polygons are present it's quite tedious to calculate one-by-one and manually sum the totals. For example in a bathy survey of a channel it's common to have different area...

Civil Labeler - Add ability to use in Sheet Model

Please add the option to use Civil Labeler in sheet models. For some sheets, there is no readily-apparent need to create a drawing model (e.g. for schematic-type drawings with no dimensions), so we only create a sheet model. Unfortunately, this pr...

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...

Allow Civil Labeler to work with regular MicroStation Smartlines

Currently, Civil Labeler is limited to ORD Geometry/Elements etc. but sometimes we have regular linework drawn as basic MicroStation smartlines in which we need to call out Coordinates and Elevations. Civil Labeler should have the ability to do this.

Extend 2D profile terrain limits beyond element

The ability to extend a profile's terrain cut using the 2D quick profile tool would be helpful for all profile types - but specifically drainage. I'd like to be able to set a buffer distance that extends existing and proposed surface cuts beyond t...
