Issue: Update Rural Driveway assembly
The Rural Driveway assembly has two DaylightProfileControlled subs that need a code adjusted. The [] in the [P1] code needs to be removed or else the surface jumps across the driveway.
Solution:
Remove [] from P1 parameter.

Issue: Plat coordinate delta label
A label is needed for plats that shows the delta X and delta y between two points.
Solution:
Created a line segment label called “Coordinate Delta” that shows the delta X and delta Y values.

Issue: Speed Hump Block
Speed Hump block requested based on: https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/SHSe/Pavement.pdf#page=21
Solution:
MSPEEDHUMP block created and added to Pavement Marking palette.

- "C:\WisDOT\Stnd\C3D2026\Appdata\ToolPalette\WIPaletteImages.dll"
Issue: CSV Storage
Since most CSVs used as inputs for WisDOT tools are kept in a single directory, each tool must be hard-coded with the path(s) to the CSV(s). Any time a new CSV is added, the code must be updated to add that path. Need a way for users to add their own CSV files to the menus.
Solution:
Create a directory structure for the CSV files and rename files to be more “friendly”. Added a source directory in the users' directory to feed UI menus. Affected tools include Control Profile Editor, Assign Corridor Targets, and Corridor Surfaces Manager

Issue: Corridor Surfaces Manager
Finer control over creating surfaces is needed beyond what DOTCreateCorridorSurfaces provides.
Solution:
Created a ‘Corridor Surfaces Manager’ that merges the functionality of the Autodesk Civil 3D Corridor Surface creation interface with the functionality of WisDOT’s Create Corridor Surfaces multi-surface creation and code mapping.
-
Create multi surfaces based on an input CSV file.
- View a list of surfaces in the input CSV file to choose which surfaces to create.
-
Create a single corridor surface with user-defined name.
-
Preview and edit all new and existing surfaces in a tree view
- Quick selection of feature line and link codes in the tree view
- Include options to rename and remove surfaces
- Change surface style assignments.
-
Access to the Corridor Surfaces Manager from command line, ribbon, or Corridor right-click menu. Known Issue: Surfaces generated from a Data Referenced Corridor will not appear until the Corridor Properties dialog is opened and closed with the OK button.

Issue: Create Data Links and Tables: WisDOT Standard table style accessibility
The WisDOT Standard table style is not kept in the start templates by default. The Import Table styles command is used to bring this style into the start templates. This step is often overlooked.
Solution:
Import the WisDOT Standard table style when starting the Create Data Links and Tables tool.
Issue: Parcel styles missing from Plat start template
The parcel styles and UDPs that were available in previous versions are no longer in the plat start template.
Solution:
Parcel styles and UDPs added to start template. Parcel table styles that use UDPs moved out of reference template and into start template.

Issue: Design Surface Data Extractor: Reference object unhandled exception
Design Surface Data Extractor is failing to complete on certain surfaces. An unhandled exception is presented stating that on operation is not valid on a referenced surface.
Solution:
The issue was due to the data reference having a different name than the source object. The Design Surface Data Extractor searches the source dwg based on the entity name. The code has been revised so it searches based on the entity handle, which cannot change.

Issue: Updates to Code Sets
Refinements are needed after initial 2026 release.
Solution:
-
Pre 2026 subassemblies have used “Uncoded” codes. When using the add codes to code set tool the “Uncoded” code gets set as “Updated code set style” instead of “_No Display” styles. “Uncoded” code had been added to code sets.
-
Update MedianDaylight point codes.
- TopDatum_MedianAtt to TopDatum_Median_Att
- TopDatum_MedianDitch to TopDatum_Median_Ditch
- TopDatum_MedianCon to TopDatum_Median_Con
-
Update Barriers labels
-
Update SidewalkWithBase label angles

Issue: Demand load linetype when using Pline buttons on plat palettes
When using polyline buttons on WisDOT palettes, the polylines do not draw with the correct linetype if the linetype is not present in the drawing.
Solution:
Create a new command to demand load the linetype from the source drawing prior to drawing the entity. First implementation of this feature will be on the Plat palettes.

Issue: Course Table Report Enhancements
- Users request to have the UI remember the last selection of points in a drawing.
- Users request to change LC Bearing to LCB and LC Length to LCH
- Need faster way to get formatted table on plat sheets

- Control hosted on a modeless palette. All entries, including last selection of points, retained in memory for each drawing in the current C3D session.
- Table output headings modified.
- Generate a second layout tab in excel that refers to the required columns from the primary report output. Create named range of the formatted table so a Data Link can be established in Civil 3D.

The rectangles in modelspace for the working areas of the typical section speed sheet template do not line up vertically and are not a fixed distance apart. When making multiple typical section sheets, this results in ortho-copying content not lining up visually sheet to sheet.
Solution:
- Set the first rectangle at an even X,Y
- Line up all rectangles horizontally
- Set a fixed distance between rectangles
- Reset all layouts to match new rectangle locations

Issue: Profile labels take up too much space and time-consuming to edit
Profile label sets should be improved for production purposes
Solution:
WisDOT Standard label sets improved in the following ways:
- Leader lines of Station/Elevation labels shortened
- All Station/Elevation point up for readability and space consolidation
- Length/K labels aligned to bottom of grid for readability and space consolidation Also, Top Grid label sets have been added. These label sets align grade break and curve Elevation/Offset labels to the top of the profile grid for further space cosolidation and minimizing conflicts with high/low point labels.

Issue: Persistent Assembly Label Sizes
The assembly label sizes set with DOTIncreaseAssemblyLabelSizes and DOTDecreaseAssemblyLabelSizes are reset each time the drawing is opened. This is due to the synchronization with the WisDOT reference templates.
Solution:
At drawing startup, restore the last setting for assembly label sizes after synchronizing with the WisDOT reference templates.

Issue: Visibility state of WisDOT Ribbon Tabs
When the visibility of a WisDOT Ribbon Tab is toggled off, it does not stay off for the next Civil 3D session.
Solution:
The WisDOT ribbon tabs are re-loaded at every Civil 3D startup to assure they are kept up-to-date. This forced their visibility to be toggled on for each session. A new bitcode system variable has been introduced to save the visibility state of WisDOT ribbon tabs so they can be restored for the next session. WISTABVISIBILITY

Issue: Map startup performance
Some Civil 3D 2024 drawings with WMS connections crash Civil 3D 2026 when opening. The crash can be prevented by turning off the WMS Layer at drawing open. Once the drawing is opened, the layer can be turned back on. Even if a crash does not occur, the loading of Map layers slow down the drawing open process.
Solution:
Introduce a new system variable DOTMAPLAYERSTARTUP to control how Map layers are loaded at drawing startup.
- 0 = (Default) Turn off all Map layers at drawing open.
- 1 = Turn of WisDOT Imagery Layers at drawing open.
- >1 = Leave status of Map layers as-is.

Issue: Import Code Set Styles - Select source file
It may be unclear that this command only imports the code set styles that include rendered materials, “Crdr Model - Color by Link - Rendered” and Crdr Model - Color by Top Materials - Rendered”.
Solution:
Update the tool so the source DWG can be chosen by the user, but defaults to C:\WisDOT\Stnd\C3D2026\Components\Assemblies\CodeSets. The tool presents the user with a list of CodeSets that can be imported from the source DWG/DWT.

Issue: Add Point Codes to Code Set - legacy code mapping
WisDOT Civil 3D 2026 subassembly point, link, and shape codes may not be included in the code set styles within WisDOT Civil 3D 2024 and earlier. WisDOT Civil 3D 2026 subassembly point codes names have changed significantly and will not adopt styles from earlier point codes in the same location.
Solution:
Expand the capabilities of the “Add Point Codes to Code Set” tool to
- Map 2026 point, link, and shape codes to previous versions of WisDOT code set styles along with the styles associated with that code for a given location.
- Map 2024 and earlier point, link, and shape codes to the new 2026 code set styles along with the styles associated with that code for a given location.
