Dynamic Settings should use Accudraw like interface rather than HS, DL, XY etc keyins

Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...

Improve Identification of Active Cant Alignment for Annotation

In complex roadway designs, it is common to have a single horizontal alignment with several associated cant alignments to evaluate different scenarios. When annotating profiles, OpenRoads Designer correctly pulls data from only one "active" cant a...

Individually Define Maximum Spread

in Drainage and Utilities, remove the Maximum Spread (global for the dgn file) and make it editable for each individual node. Roadways have lots of different gutters etc so I don't want a max spread for the whole file, I want individually.

Ability to Annotate Horizontal Curve Design Speed in plan annotation using a Text Favorite.

In OpenRoads Designer, Currently we can not annotate horizontal curve Design Speed in plan annotation. This can be done in OpenRail Designer after creating a cant. But In OpenRoads Designer there is no way to annotate design speed in plan using te...
