More options when creating custom diagrammatic arrows

Description: While SignCAD currently supports the creation of diagrammatic arrows with two arrows, there is a growing need for more complex arrow configurations. Users often require diagrammatic arrows with three or more arrows for detailed traffi...

Remove trailing zeros

Whether or not it was a setting, pre-2023 SignCAD could suppress trailing zeroes for integer and terminating decimal measurements even if decimal places were specified. In 2023 it seems to be an all-or-nothing proposition that leads to dimension o...

Bring back Active Chain Control or Similar Tool

In GeoPak, the Active Chain Control tool was very useful for selecting a particular chain or alignment and having the location information (station, offset, etc.) be display in a dialogue box. The location information would live track with the loc...

Graphically edit the profile by variable slope

It would be good to have the option to drag the start and end stations of the profile by variable slope from element in the profile window. Similarly as the partial offset tool in plan. At the moment the user needs to update values in the properti...

Retain item type on 3D cells exported from Points Feature Definition

If there is an item type attached to a Point Feature Definition, it is not retained when the Point is exported as a standard 3D MicroStation cell. The metadata is only retained to the 2d element, not the 3d. In the case of a mesh (from a component...

Fix/Bring back "Place Cell along Element" tool.

This tool was very useful for placing cells such as "raised pavement markers" at set distance intervals along very long stretches. Without this tool, plans involving tasks such as these, especially in transportation plans, take much longer.

Simplify Civil Cell tool

Civil cells contain horizontal and vertical geometry. In practice, typically the vertical design is unique for each placement instance of design features that could utilize civil cells, even though the horizontal geometry is similar or varies para...

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, ...

In OpenRoads Designer Explorer, add a feature list for terrain features, similar to the new "point filter" dialog.

Currently features that make up a terrain can be viewed, added, or removed graphically. Would like to be able to see all terrain features in a table or list view, similar to point filter list. In addition, be able to add and remove or temporarily ...
