Show deflections at PIs even when there is no curve

As a Highway Engineer, I want the horizontal alignment reports to show deflections at PIs even if there is no curve, at least one of the reports so that I don't need to add it manually.

Add extra Coloum which shows Delta Value in Geometry Report at PC, PT, No Curve PI, SC and CS

Alerts users to the existence of "kinks" in horizontal alignments. These "kinks" are where the back and ahead tangents at PCs and PTs of curves are not on the same bearing. There is a small tolerance built in to eliminate rounding errors.

Civil arc defined by 3 tangent points

Something very useful in MicroStation and AutoCAD is the ability to define an arc by 3 tangent points. The elements could be of any type and each point would belong to a different element.

Reverse direction of an existing complex element

A tool to reverse the direction of an existing complex element. There is a workaround by complexing the complex element but not an ideal solution.

Replacing the end element(s) of a complex element

There should be tools to allow the end elements in a complex element to be replaced by the designer. The Redefine tool can be fine for elements in the middle and the append tool may be fine for just adding but if I want, for example, to swap the l...

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).

Allow Graphical and Tabular Editing Simultaneously

Within the Table Editor tool, provide the designer the ability to graphically edit the profile while simultaneously locking any particular VPI or grade in proximity to where they wish to make a change. This was an awesome feature in Vertical Geome...

Annotate Horizontal length along straight on profile

Requirement is to annotate horizontal length of straight on profile (station end - station start). It is available in frame annotation but not along linear so annotations don't match. Only the slope length can be annotated along the linear

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...

Add a “Chord" Toggle to all the Horizontal Curve Tools

To have to go to the Back Stage and select Settings ==> File ==> Design File Settings ==> Civil Formatting ==> Degree of Curve Method to change from an Arc Defined Curve to Chord Defined Curve is not a good workflow. In our State we ca...
