Drawing layout from right to left - plan and profile.

Fundamental convention for technical drawing demands that the north arrow point to the top of the page. Often an alignment either provided by a client or already exiting will progress from right to left. This being said, when creating plan and pro...

import parcels, survey chains, lines, curves, spirals from GPK

Since GEOPAK is no longer supported. I have heard from Bentley time and time again that we can get to our data out of the GPK and import it into ORD. BUT this is only true for chains, profiles and points. What about Parcels? survey chains? lines? ...

Import .xtr files without losing any data

We receive the rail alignment in the form of a .xtr file. In the file itself it is possible to see that there is station, cant, construction and destruction phase, and turnout information, yet when I import it in OpenRail Designer only the alignem...

Enhancement to Auto Update Field Codes on Point Features when Field Code on Linear Feature is Updated

If a user changes a linear feature code, the expectation would be to also see the feature codes on the points that make up that linear feature change accordingly (if the linear feature was dependent on these points features and the appropriate lin...

Need a report (XSL) that combines Horizontal, Vertical, and cant information

Need a report (xsl) that combines Horizontal, Vertical, and cant information in it. Currently when the cant report (XML) is generated it also included horizontal geometry info (XSL). Similarly, when the horizontal report (XML) is generated it cont...

Clearance Report

Rail industry needs to measure clearance of many elements relative to the track: linear and point. Not all can be done using 3D clash. Some exact value are sometime required by the standards. Typically measurement of a platform edge from the CL bu...

Automate Node labelling in Cross Section drawings

We need to be able to label nodes in cross sections drawings automatically. At the moment, this can only be done one node at a time, unlike conduits, which can be labeled automatically.

List Points in Numerical Order When Generating Horizontal Point Report

Currently when generating a Horizontal point report, ORD does not list the points in numerical order. Say we have the points P1 through to P100, they should not be listed as P1, P10, P11, P12......P19, P2, P21 etc. seems it sorts by alphabetical o...

Re-associate turnout to an alignment

When you create a new alignment, break a alignment and lose the turnouts or import a geometry it would be good to be able to re-associate or change the alignment to which a turnout are associated/connected to.For instance when I´m working with a c...

Add "Arc Length Chorded" to arc properties so it can be annotated in plan

Currently there is no way to annotate the chorded length for arcs that are Chord definition. Adding a new property named "Arc Length Chorded" would allow this.
