  • CaddPro Partners with Geopartner to Expand Bentley Software Support in Denmark and the Nordic Region

    Geoppartners are now CaddPro partners

    CaddPro is pleased to announce a new partnership with Geopartner, an established Bentley partner serving customers across the Nordic region.

    The partnership will provide organisations in Denmark and the wider Nordic region with local access to CaddPro’s Engineering Productivity Pack (EPP), a suite of more than 250 productivity tools designed to complement Bentley design environments.

    The agreement marks an important step in CaddPro’s international growth strategy and strengthens our ability to support organisations seeking greater productivity from their Bentley design environments.

    For more than two decades, CaddPro has focused on developing practical software tools that help engineering teams streamline design and documentation workflows. The focus has always been practical: reducing repetitive effort, improving consistency, and helping designers spend more time on engineering rather than administration.

    Geopartner brings a strong combination of Bentley expertise, customer relationships, training capability, consulting services, software development experience, and software licensing support. As both a Bentley Channel Partner and Bentley Institute Product Training Partner, Geopartner has built a reputation for helping organisations successfully implement and maximise the value of Bentley technologies.

    CaddPro and Geopartner: Bringing Bentley Expertise and Productivity Together

    What makes this partnership particularly important is the alignment between our organisations.

    Both companies have grown around a deep understanding of Bentley users and the day-to-day challenges infrastructure professionals face. Geopartner supports Bentley customers with implementation, training, consulting, custom development and workflow optimisation. CaddPro develops specialist productivity tools through the Engineering Productivity Pack that extend those environments and help teams work more efficiently.

    By bringing these strengths together, organisations throughout the Nordic market will gain local access to CaddPro’s Engineering Productivity Pack through a team that already understands their workflows, standards, and Bentley-based delivery environments.

    Geopartner has also established a dedicated CaddPro resource for organisations across the Nordic region, providing information about the Engineering Productivity Pack and how CaddPro’s productivity tools can help Bentley users get more from their design environments.

    For CaddPro, the partnership represents more than geographic expansion. It is part of a broader commitment to building long-term relationships in key international markets while remaining focused on the Bentley ecosystem that has been central to our journey.

    CaddPro has worked alongside Bentley technologies for decades and has been a member of the Bentley Developer Network for many years, developing the Engineering Productivity Pack to integrate naturally into established Bentley workflows.

    We are excited to begin this next chapter with Geopartner and look forward to supporting more Bentley users across Denmark and the wider Nordic region.

  • Tired of your cross-section annotations being limited to what OpenRoads Designer “knows”? Here’s how to break that restriction completely.

    Tired of your cross-section annotations being limited to what OpenRoads Designer “knows”? Here’s how to break that restriction completely.

    For years, cross-section annotation in OpenRoads Designer has come with a big condition: “ORD needs to know the features first.”

    That’s been a major roadblock for teams working with partners who live outside the Bentley world -GIS departments, surveyors delivering DWGs, asset owners using ESRI services, or planners managing cadastral data in their own systems.

    The new EPP Cross-Section Annotation Tool removes that restriction entirely.

    You can now annotate any information that Bentley DGN can display in your cross-sections -even if ORD has never heard of it before.

    That includes:

    • GIS cadastral boundaries and property data
    • AutoCAD (DWG) 2D and 3D strings
    • ESRI REST services
    • External 3D models and linework
    • Any element with accessible properties (levels, line styles, PFI values, custom attributes, item types, etc.)

    And it’s not just visual. You can automatically add:

    • Dimensions and slope labels
    • Offset and elevation call-outs
    • Cells placed at meaningful positions
    • Property labels (e.g. lot numbers, boundary IDs, asset attributes)

    All directly onto your cross-sections.

    The real change isn’t just in presentation -it’s in workflow freedom.

    You’re no longer forced to import, reclassify, or “teach” ORD about external features just to see them in cross-section. If it can be displayed in MicroStation, it can now be annotated in your sections.

    That’s a big deal for collaborative projects where design, cadastral, utility and GIS data live in different ecosystems.

    Less time converting data.
    Less time reworking cross-sections.
    Better information for better engineering decisions.

    And ultimately -safer, clearer documentation for the people building it on site.

    If you’ve ever had to explain why something didn’t show up in section just because ORD “didn’t know it”… you’ll understand why this one matters.
