Need the ability to define sequence number other than at the end of the filename

We have a standard naming convention that uses sequence numbers which are in the middle of the filenames. This has been our standard for over twenty years. Additionally, we require each sheet to be in a separate file for multiple flexibility and a...

Being able to add/remove references that are stored inside cross sectional saved view

Rather than creating a new cross sectional named boundary, it would be convenient for the saved views to synchronize with 3D reference window and level display. There could even be a feature to toggle this feature on and off for a saved view.

Improve and simplify the named boundary drawing/sheet seed creation workflow

The way it is now, It's just too complex to create and custum the seeds for each client. Too many files, too many things to control and in too many folders/.cgf. You have to create many seeds with different specifics for each sheet size/scale/plan...

Coincident Sheets with Drawing Boundary

Please add the option to automatically assign coordinate systems to drawing and sheet models based on the design models and to place the sheets coincidently even when they contain drawing boundaries. Right now, we cannot create georeferenced pdfs ...

Create cross sections from MicroStation elements

Ability to select lines for cross sections like in Geopak and to be able to import /export said lines for use. When you have miles of data and your sections are not perpendicular, selecting 2 end points per section is very time consuming.

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 ...

Add Ability to use Measure Area: Flood tool in cross section drawing models.

The measure Area Flood tool does not work in cross section drawing models. Currently there is no way to calculate the area of individual shapes. This means if there is anything unique on a cross section, we can’t measure it easily. And no one can ...

Add profiles from different horizontals to a rollplot sheet

Would like an easier way to add multiple profiles to a single sheet that belong to different horizontal alignments. Specifically we're looking for a way to quickly place all the drainage profiles (which below to different horizontal alignments) on...

Specific model option for annotation

Would be nice to have an option to run an 'drawing model annotation' for specific models rather than just all or one. This could be helpful for cross section annotation if we want to use different annotation groups for different ranges of the cros...
