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...

Allow Annotation Groups to use "Place Text Along" from MicroStation

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...

More options for customizing the behavior of the SignCAD backup file creation

When working with legacy .SGN files that were created in the 32bit version of OpenRoads SignCAD, the default behavior when opening these legacy files in the 64bit version of OpenRoads SignCAD 2023 is to append .BAK to the original legacy .SGN file...

Add ability to dual code survey points as one single point similar to InRoads Survey (add option to avoid overlapping annotation on dual coded points)

The biggest drawback to creating multiple points in ORD vs one single dual coded point in InRoads survey is overlapping text in annotation/labeling.

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...

Ability to have corridor/linear template pivot at end of alignment

Currently when developing a object that is at a skew, whether it be a road, bridge, culvert, or other detail modeling. If the start/end of the object is at a skew compared to the alignment that it is attached to, it is difficult to model. The user...

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...

Visible final contour labels in corridor

After the corridor is created, it is possible to see the final contours. However, the contour elevation labels are not shown unless a proposed surface is created. Why is that so? I believe it would be beneficial to toggle on/off contour elevation ...

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 ...
