When creating parcels in Geometry Builder, I would like the option to have it automatically add COGO/Geometry Points at the PIs and on-alignment points as I place the 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...
For exhibitions it would be useful to add a setting to the civil labeler to be able to add a fill color to the border frame. Now we need to create a different shape behind the label and if the label is moved you need to move the shape in another step
Configuration variable to control default path for .tiw files
When working in a fieldbook in survey, we want to set the default file path to a specific location for .tiw files. As it stands, ORD remembers the last location from which a .tiw was imported, but we want to set a file path for all users.
Annotate Slope of terrain between points in Cross Sections
Civil labeler only works for 3D linear features (points). It`s impossible to annotate the slope from the terrain between two points. If you try that, the whole terrain section is selected and the command fails. A great example is a cross section o...
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...
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...
import parcels, survey chains, lines, curves, spirals from GPK
Since GEOPAK is no longer supported. I have heard from Bentley time and time again that we can get to our data out of the GPK and import it into ORD. BUT this is only true for chains, profiles and points. What about Parcels? survey chains? lines? ...
Open API to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies.
It would be extremely helpful, if we were able to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies so that automation of the creation of new 'Custom Drainage Features' every time a drainage structure had a different bottom box (...
