Enable the “Zoom” feature within the Survey Field Book

Within the Survey Field Book of ORD, the right-click context menu offers a “Zoom” option. This should, I presume, fit all the selected survey features into view. It doesn’t work but would be very useful if it did. (Please see the attached image)

Extend 2D profile terrain limits beyond element

The ability to extend a profile's terrain cut using the 2D quick profile tool would be helpful for all profile types - but specifically drainage. I'd like to be able to set a buffer distance that extends existing and proposed surface cuts beyond t...

Allow Vertical Geometry Stationing (Profile Annotations) to Reflect Correct Horizontal Chord Definition Stationing

Creating a physical space for profiles

If profiles lived in a physical space that you could get to then you would be able to replace a profile without breaking references and creating a ton of rework. That is what we did in Inroads and it worked great. Now we are forced to use drawings...

Have Plan Readability Recognize Sheet Orientation

The existing Annotation settings offer a plan readability setting to invert text if it would otherwise appear upside down. This appears to be tied to design file orientation. For this to really be useful, it needs to function according to the fina...
