Add cross section from graphics was available in InRoads. If I need cross sections at begin and end apprach slabs and I have several. I'd prefer to add them all at one, vs two points on each

What if we have 150 cross sections? I have to draw 150 two point sections. This would take days. Interchanges need odd section cuts to stop overlap when doing end area volume calcs. Also for construction phasing we need custom sections with different widths. In Inroads we could draw all our cross section cuts so there is no overlap then add them to a list in the cross section creation dialog. I could also save the cross list out for re-use.
We need this back. Please!!!!!
Thank you for the comment/response. When used for beginning and ending of an approach slab, a single bridge there would require 4 sections (2 at each end). Drawing them with 2 clicks each, then repeating with xs by two points each would double to clicks. Whereas drawing them and then have the ability to add by selection set would save number of clicks. When more bridges are present on an alignment, the reduction of clicks increases.
A work around is to draw a single line that represents the xs then use the xs by two points and snap to each end. It's basically the same thing with one extra click.
