Geometry manipulator handles on offsets do not overlap with manipulator text with zero offset

Currently when offsetting elements, different manipulator handles appear, however unless you go into the preferences and changes the arrow manipulator size, it is very difficult or impossible to select the trim/extend manipulator handle because it...

Snapping to arc/spiral end in profile

I would highly recommend to let user to snap to arc or spiral end in profile design. As you can see in the attached video I can't find intersection between profile alignment and vertical line that indicates arc/spiral end. To find intersection b...

Copy multiple vertical elements

There's no option for copying multiple vertical elements - you can choose only one. My idea is to make the tool "Copy Vertical" similar to its equivalent in horizontal ("Copy Element") which allows to copy multiple elements.

Drawing layout from right to left - plan and profile.

Fundamental convention for technical drawing demands that the north arrow point to the top of the page. Often an alignment either provided by a client or already exiting will progress from right to left. This being said, when creating plan and pro...

Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...

Allow entering a degree of curve (d 00^00'00") as the Radius of the Alignment Table Editor.

When creating curves, an ORD user is allowed to enter a degree of curve (d 00^00'00") as the Radius. Put the same functionality in the Alignment Table Editor.

Having an Undo & Redo button for the Table Editor

Sometimes mistakes happen. Rather than closing out of the window and waiting for ORD to undo the mistake, the "Undo/Redo" button would make the design process all little smoother. The button won't end mistakes but it sure beats having to close out...

Make the Geometry Copy Element tool clone / duplicate an element with all rules, etc.

Currently the Copy Element tool either fail to copy, copies elements incomplete (with missing Vertical Geometry) or does not reproduce rules as intended. The Geometry Copy Element command should effectively be a cloning tool that copies everything...

Ability to append, join, or combine individual alignments and have it hold the sub alignment stationing, which would create station equations

In Geopak, we had the ability to take individual alignments and create an overall alignment from a subset of alignments and it would hold the individual stationing for each alignment, creating station equations. There is no way to do this in ORD u...
