Annotation for Turnouts to be Excluded/Seperated from Geometry Annotation when Complexing Alignments

If I have annotation for curves in a track alignment and annotation for a turnout that does not annotate any curves, there is no way to deal with a single complex alignment and the annotation associated with it. As soon as I complex a turnout with...

Label all the points in a superelevation section with Civil Labeler

Superelevation is a tabular note that goes on the general info sheet with the super elevation diagram, so we usually just fill out the info in that tabular note. Designers just blow up the tabular note to add lines and make it work per project. If...

Add all feature definition types to cross section annotation groups.

Currently, annotation groups are limited to certain feature definition categories. This limits our ability to automatically annotate point features such as signs or geotech borings or drainage/utility nodes. It would be desirable to extract data f...

Change Text Favorite element attachment/selections

When using text favorites that are based on an alignment (station/offset), these text favorites can break if the alignment changes or is dropped or it can't find it. As far as I know, when this happens, there is no way to reassign the text favorit...

Add the ability to perform evaluation and branching within Labeling tools

Before Survey Annotation tools were available within Open Roads, we used many VBA Feature Macros to generate all survey labels. As we were developing these, we realized that we could build some QA/QC checks into our code. For Example, we shoot sto...

Civil Labeler - Defined Rotation Angle

We place grade elevation labels on our plans typically at a 30 degree angle from the view. Currently, the civil labeler only allows for rotation to be set to "View Horizontal" or "View Vertical" regarding placement as it relates to the active view...

Provide feedback if annotation changes AFTER QC has been performed

While the rules-based annotation is nice, it also introduces some concerns. Some of our designers are frustrated because they don't know if an element (and thus it's child annotation) has been changed AFTER the annotation has been reviewed. Would ...

Civil Labeler frame - fixed width and wrap text

I would like to create labels using the civil labeler that all have a rectangular frame with a fixed width. Currently, the frame width is based only on the width of the text favorite and whatever offset is specified. I would like the ability to sp...

Civil Labeler - Along Reference Line

Currently, we can label an element at a specified interval along that element. However, we like to label elements at a specified interval not along that specific element, but rather at an interval along the alignment. Could we add the option to la...

Civil Labeler - multiple intersection points

I want to create a label that will be placed at the intersection of a corridor line and several drawn pattern lines. However, the Intersection placement method only allows for one selection and one other selection. You can't use a selection set. W...
