Multithreaded & 64-bit

A completely new engine built for modern hardware, so your machine is always working at full capacity.

Esri Native

Built directly on ArcGIS Pro — use your existing data, styles, and workflows without conversion.

SDE & PipelineML

Everything from the new PipelineML to tried-and-true data sources like shp, file gdb or SDE is at your fingertips.

Lightning NexGen running in ArcGIS Pro

Alignment sheets for any purpose.

Whether you're in the design room or the field, Lightning NexGen keeps up.

Typically used for:

  • Energy & Pipelines
  • Transportation
  • Telecom
  • Utilities

Design & Engineering

Process design changes within minutes, without having to restart your project, or reconfigure data sources.

Construction & As-Built

Handle the intense requirements of as-built data easily with automatic station, location and deflection calculations. All project data is stored in a lightweight and portable Blue Sky database for easy reporting and delivery.

Operations

Quickly get sheets out to the field for daily maintenance and small projects. Adjust scales on the fly, and position matchline locations exactly where you need them.

Lightning NexGen alignment sheet output

Use any data source.

Any data that you can import into ArcGIS Pro is usable in Lightning NexGen, even SDE. As well as any data loaded in your Blue Sky database.

Integrate departments

Easily connect to data from CAD, survey, land, or other departments who use Blue Sky tools. All of this data is stored in a Blue Sky database which you can use immediately. No reformatting required.

Use the latest spatial formats

Everything from the new PipelineML to tried-and-true data sources like shp, file gdb or SDE is at your fingertips.

Adapt to changing tech

Lightning NexGen is being updated all the time to keep you current with new technology.

Lightning NexGen data sources
Lightning NexGen band configuration

Rapid band setup.

You can add data to Lightning NexGen's out-of-the-box bands, or create an endless number of custom bands. Either way, you have complete control over styles and draw locations.

Customize for every need

Every line is different and every project is unique. Adjust spacing, offsets, leader lines, text styles, symbology and more.

Dynamic whitespace

Tell Lightning NexGen to adjust data in a band to fit into tight spaces, or expand to fill empty areas automatically. This lets you deliver legible and professional looking sheets with minimal effort.

Select your data and go

For each band, simply select which data to use. Lightning NexGen will calculate the stationing and location, or you can provide your own.

Advanced automation.

Take advantage of our constant engineering and the latest technology and improvements we put into Lightning NexGen.

Smart tile generation

Get to sheets faster with intelligent tile generation. Sheet tiles are placed perfectly on your centerline automatically, so that there is never a gap, and all the bends and sharp angles are included in the Plan view.

Magic profiles & graphs

Auto-calculate optimum scales and ranges for all graphs, and dynamically locate lines within the middle of the graph on each page. This increases the legibility and use of the alignment sheet.

Dynamic spacing

Lightning NexGen has automatic text and line collision detection. This prevents overlap of elements that should not be overlapping, even in dense mapping environments.

Lightning NexGen automation

No excuse for slow sheets in GIS.

Lightning NexGen is built for speed — and it's ready for your next project.
