Superelevation lanes have start and end points by default in tangents

Currently if you place a superelevation lane on a tangent alignment, no points will show up in the superelevation editor. I would like that automatically even in tangent sections, the start and end points are placed in the superelevation editor so...

For a plan annotation group, the ability for annotation text on arcs/curves and spirals/transitions to be placed to follow the geometry centreline curvature. The present options only allow the text to be placed as a tangential/perpendicular straig...

Land Use Areas from a Reference

It would be nice to extract Land Use Data from a reference file rather than requiring the Land Use Areas always be drawn in the main drainage design file. This would both cut down on clutter in the design file and also allow larger areas to be del...

Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

Bring back the “NE=” key-in command.

U.S. surveyors traditionally work in Northing & Easting, in that order. When working with Microstation V8i, AND with Inroads loaded, the user could perform precision drafting by using the “NE= “ key-in to enter the exact northing/easting coord...

Variable that stores Format Options and makes them predefined in a workspace.

Currently as an OpenRoads Designer user, when the user changes the Format Options, the changes are stored on the user’s computer. This results in many different options being used in delivered reports. I would like to have an environment variable ...

Refresh or Update All Drawing Model Annotations

I would like a tool to 'refresh' or 'update' all drawing model annotations at once. Instead of having to 'Remove Drawing Model Annotations', then run the 'Annotate Drawing Model' command, I would like an option for the program to do this in a sing...
