We need a SINGLE LIST of configuration variables that can be filtered by ALL products and generation

It would be nice if there was a single list of configuration variables so that we don't have to hunt in different product Help documents (microstation vs openroads) to find details of how they are used. Furthermore there seems to be a lot of confi...

Annotation Group Text View Readable respect ACS

The text from annotation groups doesn`t follow the view rotation or the ACS. Just the global. This makes it unpratical and unhelpful.. Most plan sheets doesn`t follow the true north rotation and have an ACS. I don`t know if this is a bug or just n...

Ability to change civil labeler border sizes

The borders that can be used for the civil labeler tool are different sizes. The ability to modify the sizes would help in adjusting the size based on the user needs. The dimension styles have this ability for the symbols used around the text.

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...

Ability for Superelevation Lanes to use Crossfall between Linear Features to define superelevation

In many circumstances superelevation cannot be easily defined by superelevation points, i.e. tie-ins to existing crossfall, extension of adjacent carriageway crossfalls, eg. ramps, intersections, etc. In these circumstances users need to use linea...

Add Relationship Tree View to simplify understanding why circular references happen

Given that ORD is capable of recognising when it is creating a circular relationship reference, it would be very useful to have something like a geometry relationships "tree" we can view to understand the links between elements which would immense...
