Civil Accudraw with Numerical Keyboard shorcuts

OpenRoads Designer CE R1 10.10

Entered some custom keyboard shortcuts using numerical digits similar to Inroads SS4/10. Our department and Modelers were very familiar with them. 
i entered them into ORD to try to give us some regular feel.

Today we noticed that When trying to use Civil Accudraw Station/Offset, it allows you to put any numbers for the Station, but when you TAB and begin to enter a numerical offset value, 
thats when it automatically switches focus from Civil Accudraw immediately to the numerical keyboard shortcut.

  • I suspect that your numeric shortcuts are conflicting with numeric input. There's no way for Civil Accudraw to "know" whether "1" is a number or a shortcut. I can't say why it recognizes numbers for stations but not for offsets...but I'm positive that the issue is the numeric shortcuts. As familiar as people may be with them, they may need to be abandoned.
