offset stakes of a centerline

[COSurveyor]

OK I will see if I can explain this so that I can maybe get an answer.

When staking a centerline on an offset the software seem to only want to
stake to the PI's on the back tangent and not stake the bisec offset at the
PI . Yes I know that I can offset the line in map and then set points on the
offset line but when you have 40 miles of centerline to stake this is a lot
of extra design points that would not be needed if only the software would
stake these points.

This has been a complaint of mine sisnce the first time I did a demo about
2 years ago. I have talked with Jason Hallot about it and he said that he
would put it on the wish list, but I guess not enough people are
complaining about it to get it done! We need to use it almost every day
when doing offset stakes for curb, sewer, water storm drain, etc.

Maybe if we squeek louder we will get some grease!

SQUEEK!!!!!!!

This should be a priority! It should be very easy to implement. I would
like to be able to have a choice of staking the PI, offset back, offset
ahead, or any combination of the above. This would be great for building
stakeout among other things. BTW one of my crews cost me about $2000 in
curb because of being unaware of this problem. It was TDS survey Pro but
the same issue.

Please fix this..
