MXROAD V8i (SELECTseries 4) - Discontinued Support and use of Input files

Richard Walker — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 10:01:55 GMT

We recently received an email with respect to an update to the Bentley Support Policy. Many people in the office took this as a discontinuation of MXRoad but it is unclear if this is the case. However, we do note that MXROAD V8i (SELECTseries 4) will have "expiring support" from 1st July 2019 https://www.bentley.com/en/desktop-applications i.e. it will be unavailable for download and that "Connect Edition" and "Open Roads" will replace MXROAD. However, a lot of our designs use input files and we are concerned that this may not be supported. Having not used Open Roads, can you advise whether input file functionality is or will be available?

Open Roads Designer - Clothoid Annotation of RL values

Richard Walker — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 15:36:58 GMT

I would like to know if I can get an annotation favourite to display the RL value for a clothoid spiral? It seems there are a lot of values you can use but it is not clear whether a RL value can be displayed. See the example below where the Annotation favourite displays the clothoid length whereas I'd prefer it to display a RL value.

Open Roads and the Snake Grid Coordinate System

I heard that the Coordinate System "Snake Grid" (HS2) was available in the latest Bentley Software. We currently have Open Roads Designer Version 2019 (Release 2) but is doesn't seem to be available. Is it in a more recent version or is it available to add-on?
