Hey Folks,
I can't get the Station/Offset key-in to work in a script (or at all in ORD). Is this functionality still available?
I have an alignment referenced, and have this in my txt file:
place smartline
so=71575,1000
so=71575,-1000
reset
OpenRoads doesn't recognize it. Any ideas?

No you would need to use Civil Accudraw to accomplish this.

Thanks Beebe, so placing a line using station/offset is not "scriptable" using the key-ins in ORD? Or am I missing a few keyins in the simple script above?
Correct. Something already highlighted by few users and discussed internally.
Can we request an enhancement for this - something that would exponentially help all users with productivity. Perhaps the keyin could be relative to a selected alignment, ie. select alignment and run keyin.
Regards,
Mark

Agreed. Scripting in InRoads was a powerful option that was not used often, but when needed was easily taught and used. Any Civil AccuDraw entry with a single origin element should be eligible to be scripted.

It is really a major lack that these powerful and simple functionalities hasn´t been transferred from Inroad to Openroads… Why downgrade the functionalities, to a less better product?
Hi Anders, the thing to remember that although ORD shares some common concepts with Inroads it is not Inroads. My understanding as to why this functionality is not in ORD is because there is no concept of an "Active" Alignment and an issue of how to identify an Alignment when multiple can have the same name (via references). Definitely needed, but it would have to be implemented in a different way, maybe alignment name - reference logical name - then SO.
