I trying to setup a schedule for Openroads Designer software updates with my IT staff, but I no idea when the updates will be released.
Thank you. I guess i will just have to keep checking the software downloads.

A release was expected before end of 2019 but has been delayed. It should come soon.
To some degree I agree with you regarding stability but what is our main pain on the job which we have been working on for over a year is that we have number of files which to open takes 5-10 minutes, we have corridors which take to process even 30 minutes (the corridors are up to 4km long per DGN), and we experienced files which don't open at all or open with an error. So the time we gained at the beginning of the job is now wasted by unpredictable behavior of the software.
I have contacted Krzysztof offline and we are looking at some of the performance issues.

Krzysztof, do you think my 315km rail line is overly optimistic? ;-)
I've cut it into smaller sections but even 40km doesn't work. The annotation locks up, and the profile is so slow it is unusable.
There is a saying in English, "Biting off more than one can chew".
Maybe Jan is right...?

Neville, stay with SS2
I do not recall the recommended "limit" but even Civil 3D recommends avoiding overly long corridors - breaking them up into smaller segments to avoid issues.

Chuck, you may be right but Civil 3D is a lot more stable. Secondly, in RailTrack SS2 I could do a 40-315 km stretch of rail line without m(any) problems, with ORD I can't!
You're kidding right? ORD substantially outperforms Civil 3D.
I think you have something fundamentally wrong with your configuration.
