Add Vertex Option for Labeling Points

The current capabilities allow a selection set of points to label. But a selection set of a linear element labels its centroid. We need the ability to label the vertices of a linear object as points. This would need to coexist with the capability ...

Have LandXML export support b-spline curves as a geometry type

This would benefit users who are trying to export their geometry using LandXML as the export format. Currently, bspline curves in an alignment are not supported by LandXML export and have to be manipulated to export the geometry.

Ability to use Cross Section Named Boundaries across references

We would like to be able to create cross section sheets by referencing previously created boundaries in a similar manner to how we currently are able to use Plan and Profile Named Boundaries across references.

Ability to reference in Navisworks model files

Currently our only option is to bring in Navisworks Simulate models is find the .DWGs that possibly populate it and bring each one in individually. The individual reference option misses out on any files from other software (such as smartplant) su...

Ability to control the directory opened when importing text files to fieldbooks

Currently, when importing text files to fieldbooks the directory opens in the last used directory. It would be useful to control this behavior so that it can open in the directory where the active DGN is located. This can function similar to the c...

Allow new Line of Sight analysis to be included in Civil Cells

The new Line of Sight tool is a great addition to the visibility toolset, however, automated repetitive checks are still not possible. As the "standard" Line of Sight checks are usually for things like approach to stop lines and fixed objects, int...

Ability to Hard-Code Precision and format for Station, Angle, Direction, etc. in XML reports

Using XML coding, we can control the precision of items for linear measurements and area measurements, bypassing the precision set by the user. This allows us to provide a more consistent report output. Currently it is not possible to do similar o...

Zoom button with CivilAccudraw

It would be useful to have a zoom button (toggle) added to CivilAccudraw to automatically zoom to location of selected point. Example: type a station and it will zoom to that station. And maybe with capability to zoom 2D only or on multiple views ...

Replacing the end element(s) of a complex element

There should be tools to allow the end elements in a complex element to be replaced by the designer. The Redefine tool can be fine for elements in the middle and the append tool may be fine for just adding but if I want, for example, to swap the l...

Vertical curve from element with outgoing slope

When creating vertical curves "from element" it would be really useful to be able to set the outgoing slope (I have not been successful using "civil accudraw" for this purpose...).
