I am having an issue where I cannot get the window to select template points for elevation annotation to appear. I keep getting this error message after I click the Select points from Template button.
I am in my RDXSRD01 file in the roadway folder and my ITL file is also in my roadway folder, so I am not sure whey it doesn’t seem to want to open. This is happening on two separate machines, my local machine and my VDI.
Zachary,
Would you press the details button and copy the text in the dialog that opens and paste it in this post?
I have attached a text file with the entire error message. It was very long so I thought I would do this instead of flooding the whole post.

Thanks

I found a way around this, but I suspect there is still something wrong with ORD that is causing this.
To preface, I had exported these XS Annotation definitions from another project and imported them into this one. I suspect part of the issue is in clicking that Select Points from Template is perhaps it was not able to find some of the points/templates I had used to originally create the definition because I was now in a different project.
I created a brand new RDXSRD file, then a new Annotation Group, then a new Annotation Point Definition. When I did that, I was able to get the dialogue to come up where I could choose the template and therefore points that I wanted to annotate. That is where I encountered another issue.
Not every template I had could be opened in this dialogue, including some of my older ones, but also the new template I had created to place a point at the existing ground at the CL. So then I went and created a new "Spoof" template by copying one of the templates that DID load into the dialogue and changing one of the point names on it to the point name that I needed. I was then able to get this Spoof template to load into the dialogue so I could select that point name. Then I just filled out the rest of the settings for that annotation.
It seems like there are at least two problems I am encountering in this process that will hopefully get resolved. Its going to be a pretty standard workflow to copy annotation definitions from one project to another I can imagine. We cant continue to run into these sorts of errors.
