What's New?

This section provides a list of new features in Bentley OpenRail Overhead Line Designer.

The following summarizes the new features and fixes in 2023 Release 1.

Enhancements

  • Civil Labeler support for overhead line elements.

  • Imperial units support for design and new imperial workspace.

  • Virtual Nodes tool for adding user defined nodes to the topology. Enabling creating shorter pathways for catenary placement.

  • Repositioning Options, providing greater control on how overhead line objects behave when the underlying geometry is manipulated.

Defect Fixes

  • "Save As" does not update the DAT file

  • Save As - opens file as Read only

  • Save as - DAT file saves file to wrong folder
