Annotate Alignment by Mile Post

We would like the ability to add Mile Post annotations to alignments. One way to do this would be to add a "Begin Mile Post" property and the ability to configure the annotation group to display whole and fractional mile post annotations along the...

Have a rules explorer, per item or files

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.

Report Station Equations in Horizontal Alignment report similar to GeoPAK

Horizontal geometry reports are confusing when there are station equations at cardinal points. A few of our surveyors have commented on this and I can see where they’re coming from. I’ve attached three example geometry reports. Their names ind...

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 ...

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...

Lock stationing to an XY coordinate.

As an MX user, we had the ability to lock stationing to an xy coordinate in an alignment. Please add this ability in ORD. An example use would be as follows: the user has a complex horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, and wants to append a ta...

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...

Gauge and Cant Reports on Regression Information

Based on the way the new regression tools work for importing regression lines we no longer have a way of running gauge and cant reports on existing alignments based on LHR/RHR surveys.

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...
