Access OBM directly instead of opening OBD first

It would really be helpful for users with OBD to not have to open OBD prior to opening OBM. That is a big pain point that I get a lot of complaints about. Also it is very confusing for users at first, they don't understand why they can't just clic...

Drawing layout from right to left - plan and profile.

Enhance Annotation Definitions (Add text frame option and associate leader line to text)

Currently when creating/using annotation groups, the annotation definition can place a leader line. But when the annotation is placed the leader line is not associated with the text so if I move the text the leader line does not move with it. Simi...

Need an "Update" tool to update Drainage Catalogs, Prototypes, and Engineering Libraries from another file

We need a better way to update a working DGN with changed or added Drainage content from the DGNLib. It is possible to export and import library XML files, but you'd need to know which libraries have been changed. There's no XML file for prototype...

Allow Sorting of Drainage and Utilities Items in the Project Explorer

Currently, items in the drainage and utilities model in the project explorer appear in the order they were created. However, as element names change, items can be difficult to find especially if there are a lot of elements in the model. It would b...

The possibility to choose how your objects will be exported to ifc: at the moment everything exports as ifcBuildingElementProxy class, MeshElement type.Example: assign surface templates (pavements) to export as ifcSlab; a retaining wall as ifcWall...
