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...

Allow Vertical Geometry Stationing (Profile Annotations) to Reflect Correct Horizontal Chord Definition Stationing

This would be useful for designers working on a project in which chord definition is the client's standard. Currently OpenRail does not correctly annotate the stationing in our profile sheets. The stationing displayed by OpenRail is correct in arc...

Horizontal and vertical regression values displayed in mm

Reporting horizontal slues and vertical lift/lowers interactively in the plan or profile model always displays as per the working unit, which I have set to metres. It would be useful to display these values in millimetres

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.

Horizontal Geometry tool similar to the Site Layout

Site Layout has two geometry elements really easy to use: the polygon and the drivepath. I want them to be on the horizontal geometry tab in a simplified way, with no site layout objects options (side, slopes, max elev, ...). Just the geometry and...
