I've got a table in SQL*Server intended to store polygon information. When I "register features", I set the feature to be a polygon-collection, and in the GSA I see the resultant "MyPolygon_Collection" and the sub-feature "MyPolygon". I can't figure out how to get a second sub-feature of the collection for "MyPolygon_CollectionText". When I right-click and "insert polygon placement metadata", there is no bottom section for the annotation modes....And the sub-feature only show "Schema Versioning" for the right-click operations. Is annotation not possible for "collections"?

Bruce,
I contacted one of my colleagues familiar with the "Insert > Polygon Placement Metadata..." process in the Bentley Geospatial Administrator and was able to determine that the "Align" annotation option is not available for polygon collection feature classes. I reviewed your schema and see one simple polygon feature class and another polygon collection feature class. If you attempt the "Insert > Polygon Placement Metadata..." process on the simple polygon feature class you should see the "Align" annotation option.
As you probably know and seen in the following, during the "Register Features..." process you can select the "Feature Type" choosing either "Polygon" or "Polygon Collection" depending on your needs.
