OpenRoads not saving IDOT settings, and Point Import file not working

Starting this year, IDOT is requiring projects to completed in OpenRoads, and as first time users we're having issues. Not with using the program, but with keeping the settings saved/loading everything how it should be.

The instructions to install IDOT's ORD WorkSpace is really simple. I downloaded and extracted the files, I dropped them into a network drive, and I created a customization text file everyone can easily copy onto their PC locally to redirect the file locations. That works perfectly. The IDOT workspace shows up on the list, the levels load as they should, and that's about as far as we get.

First of all, the cell library does not load properly. At first I didn't think it would be that big of a deal, just had to attach it; however, after closing a drawing and reopening, it loses it. We have to reattach, and once again force our survey shots to load in the correct symbol (such as trees, signs, etc).

The second issue is with the color table. Once again, every time we close a drawing, the color table is unloaded and reverts to the default OpenRoads table. It's easy to fix, but becomes annoying fast as we have to redo it each time we open a drawing.

The third issue comes from our survey data import. We use the text import option, and set up everything as per our requirements (PNEZD), and then save the setting file so that it gets added to our list. Our hope was to just drag and drop our text files and choose this import option from the list, but it doesn't work. No matter where we save that import setting file, OpenRoads refuses to read off of it.

If someone could help me figure out these issues, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks
