I'd like a tool that synchronizes all template drops in all corridors in a file, right now they have to each be manually selected in the explorer or on screen.

Future consideration
This tool should work with surface templates as well. At the moment, there is no feature for this, except manually selecting each surface element.
Need to be able to lock/unlock all rules in bulk too.
I think an enhanced Corridor Objects window would be even better. Include the ability to synchronize all templates but also have a single utility that would aggregate all corridors and linear templates into a single window with a new browser sidebar that allows for switching back and forth between active corridors.
Mark Shamoun has posted a VBA script that does exactly this. Search for you exact title in the OpenRoads forum and you should find it.
agree that the option to synchonise all corridors using specified template would be very usefull. Suggest three options. Synchonrise selected, synchornise all, and sychronise all omiting edited design drops.
Replying to comment about already being able to do this, this isn't true. It will simply synchronise all templates within a corridor. It won't synchronise all templates in a DGN. So if you have a series of linear templates at multiple intersections when you update the template library then they all need to be individually synchronised.
You can already do this in ORD. Click the "Synchronize Templates" tool in the ribbon, and it gives you the option to select the corridor.
If this is accepted, it should still warn us when synchronizing templates that have been edited within the corridor.
