When dropping a linear template onto an element, say a ditch template on a sidewalk element, the linear template stationing and location is all based on the sidewalk "station". This makes sense, to a degree.
The issue that I've run into is if I change the backbone template drop start station (or copy a template drop to another template) all the linear templates I've place are all now messed up and not placed in the correct location. It appears the linear template location is placed relative to the start of the template drop, which can change. How can you drop a linear template and make it relative to the alignment station so Station 181+00 is always 181+00 and does not change in relation to template drops? I think this is a major flaw because during the design process template drop locations will need to be modified, but if you have already placed linear templates you are stuck.
