I do understand, but I guess my point is that this might be better presented as a customer request, because if for no other reason, you could trace even profile elements with vanilla Microstation tools which are inherently unruled.
I feel that just a few changes--including this one (being able to suspend rules, or have the software tolerate circular references) plus several others that don't immediately come to mind--would make civil tools drastically more functional. Of course the effort it would take to effect those changes could be pretty immense considering the existing code the developers are working with and around.
