Cross Section Annotation Filter

Nelson Wienke — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 01:02:48 GMT

I've search high and low and am not able to find any documentation on "Annotation Filters" and how the "expressions" work.

There's nothing in OpenRail Designer Help Website about Annotation Filters or Cross Section Frame Annotation.

Does anybody have a link to a Wiki or Video that goes through either the Annotation Filters/Expressions and/or Frame Annotation Settings?

RailTrack V8i SS2 had a very simple and straight forward Dialog for setting up Frame Annotation (no filters/expressions necessary) and It's been replaced by this code heavy dialog with no supporting documentation.

(Below are example of what was available in BRT SS2)

Telling our clients that we're just not able to annotate cross sections any more is NOT AN OPTION. Change is fine, but change without documentation or available training is just ridiculous.

With a software able to automate a plethora of things and do 3D design so efficiently you'd think it wouldn't regress on the Plans Production aspect. I'll save my collision free leader lines and cross section range lack of options for another time.

OpenRail 2020.r3 - Topo Import Tool USGS Terrain not working

Nelson Wienke — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 18:20:28 GMT

When I try to create a new terrain using the Topo Import Tool>USGS Terrain, I don't get anything.

- I have a coordinate system selected (and tried a 2D and 3D model)

- I create a shape and set a Feature Definition

- I selected the shape and then there is a quick progress bar, but then it disappears and switches the tool back to the Selection tool and there is no terrain created and the shape properties didn't change.

- The Message Center gives me this "Topo Import functionality is part of Technology Preview"

Is this tool not ready to be used? The release information said it would be in software.

Also, I'm currently asking within our company about an Esri password so I haven't been able to try that yet.

OpenRoads Connect edition importing templates

Joe Eiffler — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 18:12:02 GMT

Good afternoon,

I can successfully import a template into my library from graphic elements using the "import template" tool, but when I do the horizontal and vertical scale is way off when I view the template! Can anyone help to fix this?

Thanks,

Joe

Plan Profile Generator Titleblock Reference

Nelson Wienke — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 17:30:47 GMT

I'm trying to run the Plan and Profile Generator is Rail Track Suite V8i which we've done numerous times, but for some reason the Titleblock Reference dgn will not come in at the correct position. It comes in with correct scale and rotation as I can manually move the reference to the correct position, but it comes in xxx ft to the bottom left of where it needs to be.

The titleblock is set at 0,0; all files are created from the same seed; units are all matching.
