Update GUI for Editing Template Transitions

I find the interface for editing template transitions archaic and difficult to understand for new users. Is this something already in the works for development?

When creating a new point in a Survey field book using the “New Point” command, allow an option to hand-enter the coordinates.

When using the “New Point” command for a survey point, the user must screen-pick the coordinates. There are times when it would be extremely useful to hand-enter the Northing, Easting, Elevation.

Analyze point

It would be extremely useful to have Analyze Point on every tab by default. That tool gets utilized a lot to evaluate all kinds of civil geometry.

Survey Control Code Template

Need the ability to add a predefined template to control codes. For example, I can create curb and gutter templates that would generate the needed linears at the correct horizontal and vertical values.

Geometry Connector: automatically use turnout radius when connecting an arc to a turnout

When using Geometry Connector to connect turnouts, it is often that we must extend the last arc of the turnout. Because the arc is in the turnout we cannot extend it. Instead, we must add an arc of same radius. It would be nice that in such situat...

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.

Expand range options of Horizontal Feature Constraints

Horizontal feature constraints are a huge benefit to streamlining corridor modeling and tying design intent to civil geometry. The range options (-, 0, +) are pretty limited and often trigger components to behave improperly. Adding more options to...

Export Geometry XML from Read Only File

We have many users on the survey side that need to quickly jump in a design file and export out an alignment xml for staking. Non-Roadway users do not have write access to these files and the export geometry tool cannot be used in a read only file...

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...

Turnout points for tounge position

In railway engineering, there is a growing demand for positioning of the tongue in turnouts. The proposal is to introduce a new point in the Feature Definition of turnouts, making it possible to specify the distance from point .1 to the Tongue. Su...
