Plan/Profile Sheets - Center Justify Clip Boundary

Right now in our plan and profile drawing seed files, we can only anchor a clip boundary from its left-most point. This works if users always place the same linear distance on each sheet, but if the user wants to vary the project length shown on e...

option to have the Named Boundaries "Show the Create Drawing Dialog" toggle stay on

As a designer it would be great to have an option to have the tool active as the default. There are very few instances where I would create sheets without this active. I know the other designers in our department operate the same way as well.

Add ON/OFF toggle option to Civil Labeler for Arrow Head

Just like you already have the option to toggle on and off a Box Frame or Text Divider around a label and the option to have a leader line or not, we would find it very useful to have the option to toggle ON/OFF an arrowhead.

Profile Grid Text Annotation - Convert to Point Cell instead of Graphic Cell

Currently, when a profile is annotated along the grid, the text is placed as a Graphic Annotation Cell. For right to left profiles, the easeiest fix is to create Annotation Groups and Defs that basically annotate the text backwards. Then, the prof...

Option to overwrite Saved views when reprocessing named boundaries to sheets

Allow a checkbox to choose to overwrite or replace existing saved views when re-processing a set of named boundaries for output to sheets. This will help to maintain order in the files and avoid excess unused items. If not creating another 'versio...
