Improve Civil Labeler so it doesn't leave little circles in the dgn

Currently, when labels are placed, small circle elements are added to the file. While these circles are necessary for maintaining the connection between the element and the label, they present several challenges: File Clutter: The addition of h...

Plan/Profile Sheets - Center Justify Clip Boundary

Right now in our plan and profile drawing seed files, we can only anchor a clip boundary from its left-most point. This works if users always place the same linear distance on each sheet, but if the user wants to vary the project length shown on e...

Automate the creation of plan-plan sheets with different views of the same station range.

We often do sheets where the same station range is shown, plan on top and bottom, but they have different information. For instance, the top plan view might be a staking overview where the bottom plan might be a jointing diagram. Both have the sam...

Improve drawing annotation management

Sometimes we apply more than one drawing annotation to the same model. It would be good to have a model manager view with all the applied annotations group so that we can disable, remove or add. That way we could select what we want to remove inst...

Group Annotations into One Annotation Group Together.

Improve and simplify the named boundary drawing/sheet seed creation workflow

The way it is now, It's just too complex to create and custum the seeds for each client. Too many files, too many things to control and in too many folders/.cgf. You have to create many seeds with different specifics for each sheet size/scale/plan...

Add Ability to use Measure Area: Flood tool in cross section drawing models.

The measure Area Flood tool does not work in cross section drawing models. Currently there is no way to calculate the area of individual shapes. This means if there is anything unique on a cross section, we can’t measure it easily. And no one can ...

Place Cross Section Named Boundary/Create Drawing - round top grid to nearest major interval

When creating cross sections, the user would like the option to round the top grid line to the nearest major interval. Currently, when creating cross sections, the top grid line (top of named boundary) is always the top elevation plus top clearanc...

Create cross sections from MicroStation elements

Ability to select lines for cross sections like in Geopak and to be able to import /export said lines for use. When you have miles of data and your sections are not perpendicular, selecting 2 end points per section is very time consuming.

Put all Drawing models in one dgn when using "One Sheet per Dgn."

When using the drawing production tools and selecting the option to create the drawing in a separate dgn file there is no way of updating the annotation groups in the resulting drawing file. This seems like a completely flawed workflow as you are ...
