Add an ExtendLine Code to Survey

This code would be similar to the DIST command, except it would allow the crews to add a taped distance to the last segment of a figure, which would extend that segment by that value. It would be similar to a DIST commend except instead of turning...

Fix DIST Command in Survey to InRoads Survey Operation

The DIST Command in Open Roads is almost identical to the InRoads version with one problematic exception. Open Roads uses the last two actual shots to determine the direction to turn the 90-degree angle to generate its points. InRoads would allow ...

Add Single Point Arc that is identical to InRoads Surveys

The Sigle Point Arc command in InRoads survey would create true tangent arcs from the incoming and outgoing tangents. The ArcSingle in Open Roads does not. This frequently results in bulges in figures if the uncoded PC and PT points are not perfec...

Add ability to match level when importing features from graphics

When I import features from graphics into a field book, the program does not set the correct level (match level) for most features. If we can get it to match the level correctly, it would save a lot of time. To take it a step further, it would be ...

Add ability for Custom Line Style to place point feature on the curve in survey

The user has created a line style that just shows the points (Begin, End, and Vertices). The line works fine with a straight line but does not show vertices along a curve. The line style is used in the Survey for the center line data shots. If the...

Need equivalent of InRoads input logger

There is a setting that can be turned on in Power InRoads V8i that keeps open a “results dialog box” that records all actions completed. It gives very basic information that we save as text file. The text is then imported into a Word document temp...
