Make profile active without opening profile view

It would be useful if some of the profile tools (quick profile from surface, profile from surface, etc) had a toggle to allow the profile to be set as active when it is created. This would make it more efficient in cases like when you need to crea...

Add "Arc Length Chorded" to arc properties so it can be annotated in plan

Currently there is no way to annotate the chorded length for arcs that are Chord definition. Adding a new property named "Arc Length Chorded" would allow this.

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...

Turnout Creation Wizard

Developing turnouts in the new software can be quite cumbersome. If there was a wizard that allowed users to input known common pieces of geometry in a more descriptive and graphical fashion, it would help significantly. When geometry elements are...

Drop Complex Status alignment but keep FD

When editing vertical alignments. When I want to edit a complex vertical alignment by adding or removing elements I usually use Drop Complex Status because I find it easier to edit those single elements than edit apart and then use Complex Redefin...

How to know what rules are on a specific element. we can have rules per terrain, corridor, alignement in plan and profiles but there is no way to know what rules are associated within a particular element.

Allow Item Type value to drive dimension of Civil Geometry elements

There are several instances where we draw civil elements with rules and need to change the dimension value (length, offset from element, etc.). Currently the only way to do this is to click on the element and use the handles, or dig through the pr...

Ability to make Geometry Profile models indexed DGN models for ease of use & design workflows

Similar to all the other models, we regularly want to go in and out of Alignment Profile models and the current methods of having to navigate to the geometry to access it is very disruptive and inefficient. Also, having these as hidden models limi...

Would like the ability to dynamically rotate a point feature.

We would like the ability to dynamically rotate a Point Feature, like we can do with a regular cell. Currently you can only enter a rotation by manually entering a number into the dialog box.
