Static Labels and Annotation - "Dumb Text" (make UX of labels more friendly/improve performance))

I would like the ability to place labels and annotate elements using static text. Meaning, once the label or annotation is place it will not update or change. I would love the comfort of placing labels and not worrying if I will lose the field inf...

Civil Labels Update Automatically in Files When dgnlib is Updated

Example would be for Pipe lengths. If a label is set to place the "designed" pipe length, but it needs to be changed to constructed pipe length. And that civil label has been used multiple times in multiple sheets. It would be great if when someon...

Ability to Separate Tangents / Gradients from Adjacent Tangents / Gradients after Alignment Simplification

When making alignment modifications by manipulating tangents (Horizontal Alignments) or gradients (Vertical Alignment) we prefer to limit extents of changes to only one tangent / gradient at a time. This is possible, when alignments are built with...

Add The Ability to use a Fence and Regular MicroStation Shapes as a Boundary When Using The "Analyze Volume" Tool

Currently, the "Analyze Volume" tool "Only" allows you to use an ORD Geometry Shape for a boundary. It would be much more useful and intuitive if we could also use a fence and/or a regular MicroStation shape for a boundary as well like you could w...

Ability for Superelevation Lanes to use Crossfall between Linear Features to define superelevation

In many circumstances superelevation cannot be easily defined by superelevation points, i.e. tie-ins to existing crossfall, extension of adjacent carriageway crossfalls, eg. ramps, intersections, etc. In these circumstances users need to use linea...

Put all Drawing models in one dgn when using "One Sheet per Dgn."

When using the drawing production tools and selecting the option to create the drawing in a separate dgn file there is no way of updating the annotation groups in the resulting drawing file. This seems like a completely flawed workflow as you are ...

Annotate Alignment by Mile Post

We would like the ability to add Mile Post annotations to alignments. One way to do this would be to add a "Begin Mile Post" property and the ability to configure the annotation group to display whole and fractional mile post annotations along the...
