With Inroads we have the ability to use the station offset command for precise input relative to an alignment. The syntax being:
SO=Station,Offset,Elevation,Alignment
This ability seems to be replaced by civil accudraw however the more powerful feature to this keyin is not in the single entry but with the ability to create a text file with a long series of keyins that can be parsed. You create a simple text file and then in your keyin window you enter something like "@C:\SO_List.txt". This simple ability is extremely powerful and is something I want to see retained in future releases of Openroads. Further this is one of the things I miss most when working in Geopak. The prospect that we will have one product and have this ability is exciting and I want to make sure the developers are consider this moving forward. Right now with the the legacy portion of Inroads we have this ability but hope it is retained as the legacy portions deprecated.
Thanks,
Terry
