Annotation Group Definition Copied to Active File when Used

When labeling civil geometry (alignments for example), whichever annotation group that is utilized is copied from the DNGLIB and saved with the active DGN. This is only the case when the geometry being annotated is stored within the active DGN, no...

Issues with Drainage Prompt to compress database

The prompt for compressing the drainage database needs some work: It really should be removed. Salvaging anything marked for deletion but not compressed isn't really feasible in OpenRoads environment. Do not prompt me twice. It should be assumed t...

ORD SUDA - Single gradient property - False for stormwater and wastewater conduit

Hi, We were wondering if it would be possible to change the single gradient property function for stormwater and wastewater conduit. "Single Gradient - This is always set to true for storm and sanitary conduits. For other types of conduit, it i...

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.

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 ...

Export pier or abutment templates to Functional Component

Often times a small edit is needed to make an existing abutment or pier template match project standards. It is tedious to create a Functional Component from scratch for small edits. It would be helpful to have a tool or button to export a templat...

Itemtype/Data missing

While Openbridge elements have lot of great data attached that can also be read by itemtype expression, however as soon as we do any modification to solid by the usual modify solid command, the element is converted to smart solid and all the OBM D...

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...
