When creating horizontal or vertical civil geometry we should have a toggle that will retain or not retain the "design intent". Having to go back and remove constraints and "re-civilize" elements is just a lot of extra clicks. Further design intent, and in particular elements that are linked to elements, which are further linked to other elements is leading to a LOT of file instability. This has not improved in SS4 and leaves us to only carefully manage these dependencies. This is why we need a toggle that allows us at the time of creation to control the functionality.
To be clear, I may want to set a lane offset from another lane when initially drawing but after the element is in the file I want it to be a civil element but I don't want it to remember where it was created from. This needs to be a check box available when the element is created.
Microstation is simply not stable when you have a lot on design intent to recurse through... this also need to improved, IMHO.
