Ability to View Alignment Stationing in Plan View in ConceptStation

I am requesting an enhancement to allow the user to view alignment stationing in plan view in ConceptStation. Currently, alignment stationing can only be viewed from the profile model. This would be helpful when adding PI points or modifying horiz...

Notification/warning if alignment doesn't have active profile.

If an aligmment has a vertical profile, can we please ensure that it's active. The profile creation process is labourious in this software, and to find out that your profiles are empty at the end of this process as there weren't active isn't great...

Line and Curve Tables for both Alignments and Parcels

Need tools for creating Line and Curve tables with smarts. Geopak D&C had a tool for creating line and curve tables. Why doesn't OpenRoads have tools for this? Needs to be smart so that as changes are made to the geometry the data in the table...
