Display A parameter (not Length) after using "Create Civil Rule Feature" option.

When I create an alignment with curves using A parameter and when I select this alignment "A parameter" will be properly displayed. Then when I "Remove Rule" and use "Create Civil Rule Feature" tool, A parameter will be replaced with "Length".

Horizontal and vertical geometry - edit vertical elevations/profile in plan view, improve geometry snap rules/constraints.

We have used the horizontal and vertical geometry tools to create terrain models for site design of rest areas. We have found this to be very inefficient and time consuming. For example, the rest areas typically have sidewalks that vary in width, ...

Geometry Builder Interior Angles

We often get plats that have interior angles and distance for the parcels, tracts, etc. It would be nice if this option was in geometry builder.

"create new .xml file" or "close .xml file" button in geometry builder

Currently, if you have an existing .xml file open in the geometry builder it remains open until you exit OpenRoads. Simply opening a new drawing does not close the .xml file. Due to the significant amount of time it takes to open and close .dgn's ...
