Unable to report on Geometric Points direction relative to an Alignment.

In OpenRail Designer, unable to output the direction information when comparing geometry points to a baseline alignment. In Bentley Rail Track we were able to create clearance reports that included the direction.

It appears OpenRailDesigner's reporting tool does not provide information in relation to the radial bearing of a geometry point in relation to any baseline alignment.

We need this ability in order to complete survey grid transformations and to maintain the integrity of current design alignment database as require the conjunction of a lateral offset + a radial bearing to perform conversions.

Attached are screenshots of the 'ShowAll' data from reporting in OpenRailDesigner versus the data for radial bearing that can currently be outputted from an BentleyRailTrack.

    I second this, a feature that we had in BRT which proved very useful.

    The was available in BRT and is essential to our workflow to deliver projects. This is more than an idea it is an essential requirement. As I don't believe there as another alternative besides using BRT until its available in ORD.
