Named Boundary tool should respect leading zeroes

It seems a fairly simple thing and would help in general organization of Named Boundaries and indivicual sheets that are created from them. Most users are trained to use leading zeroes in the naming of various items and yet this tool does not reco...

Ability to differentiate between the different types of Rail Crossover

The crossover function has been retired between schema 9 and 10 in favor of turnout "connections". So it is no longer possible to identify a single crossover with a unique asset IDs. A crossover object should be added that consist of the sub eleme...

Commands to Place Node and Conduit <Type> (e.g. Place Manhole, Place Stormwater Conduit)

At the moment, you run Place Node, then set the type of node by picking a feature definition. However, you normally know what type of node that you want to place, such as a manhole for example,so it would be more intuitive if the ribbon contained ...

Use different feature definitions (FDs) within the same complex Element

In Rail track engineering, it is common to have an existing track and a client wants to modify its geometry, but only partially. That means that parts that are changed VS parts which remain unchanged should be marked with different FD. However, on...
