Currently, profile named boundaries have the option to populate annotations using the named boundary border as a reference line. This is how the stations and elevations come in along the bottom of the boundary. Specifically in Indiana, we are aske...

Tool to detect corrupt preference file

In ORD especially in Drainage and Utilities, corrupt preferences lead to inconsistent results. There is currently no way to detect a corrupt preference file so that it can be removed until a user notices a error in the design which is usually too ...

add ability to run OpenRoads as Microstation

The ability to run a streamlined version of OpenRoads that only loads the microstation portion of the program for simpler drafting tasks would speed things up considerably. Similar as is done with Autodesk Civil3d, where there is the option provid...

Transition Length for Parametric Constraints

When using parametric constraints to transition between default template values and the desired value, a separate parametric constraint is often required to control the transition length. (ex. Default to New, New to New, New to Default) An optiona...

Offset Alignment - Controlled by Station, Offset and Cross Slope.

An OFFSET ALIGNMENT / GEOMETRY CHAIN command would be a gamer changer for ORD. Most of our geometry including "edge of pavement", "curb" and "ditches" are controlled by station offset cross slope from a control line. Currently to create offset geo...

Point Table using MicroStation Table Styles

This would literally save large projects 100s of hours. Plus having points in tables that are ruled eliminates so many chances for errors. Other civil products have had this feature for years. Creating grading points on plans is so easy when table...

Earthwork Quantity Cell table for Cross Sections

We currently only have the ability to produce Cut & Fill volume quantities using available text favorites for our cross sections. That's where it ends when it comes to extracting quantities from the model to display in the drawing/sheet models...

Include info about side/hand of turnout from the tip of the turnout (Point 1) looking towards the toe (point 2)

Especially in reports but also in models we need to add information about turnout type including a letter showing towards which side looking from point 1 towards point 2, the branch is oriented. As it is now turnouts with Leading orientation will ...

Automate the assignment of a node's sump offset based on largest connecting pipe's wall thickness

We are looking for a workflow where the Sump depth value can be set to the thickness of the "largest pipe" connected to a node. When the user places a node, if there is an option to set the sump depth to the thickness of the pipe, then it would au...

Add the ability to open OBD & OBM files without a WorkSpace/WorkSet.

Request: I would like to ask that the ability to open OBD & OBM files without a WorkSpace/WorkSet be allowed. ORD has this ability, OBD/OBM should too. Reason: Being able to open a file, especially a .dgnlib, without a WorkSpace/WorkSet is ver...
