Name individual elements when using Complex by PI

You can name an element if drawn 1 at a time with tangents and arcs. But if you use Complex by PI you can't go back and name your elements to make it easier to report on your geometry.

Trace Slope - Line Style - add direction

One issue I've found with the trace slope is that the direction is adjustable (can be down or up) and ORD isn't smart enough to change the direction of the line. This causes two issues: 1) One of your flow directions is going to be wrong, dependin...

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

This would be useful for designers working on a project in which chord definition is the client's standard. Currently OpenRail does not correctly annotate the stationing in our profile sheets. The stationing displayed by OpenRail is correct in arc...
