Problem

Once an automated annotation is hidden, the right-press "Show Annotation" option does nothing.  Only right-press "Reset Annotation" re-displays the annotation. What is the designed difference between these two options and why is "Show Annotation" not working?

Solution

 The Show Annotation tool was designed to re-display hidden annotation by right-clicking over the element to which the annotation is linked.  For example, after right-clicking over a Door ID and choose Hide Annotation, to re-display that annotation you would right-click over the door itself and choose Show Annotation.   The "Reset Annotation" tool serves a different purpose, which is to reset moved and/or rotated annotation back to its original location.
