Annotations changing from color ByLevel to 0 after changing a point.

Jeremy Keller

Is there a setting that changes the color of annotations to flag it when a point has been changed? It will only do this after closing the file and going back in later. I'll attach a data set that I'm using, the .dgn I was using, and our Survey Feature Codes- but if I create a new file I can change the Feature code of any point and use the Redraw tool with no effect on the annotation color. If I close the file and go right back in and do the same thing the annotations' color will change to 0.

Initial data import

Close, re-open, change XYZ to CB:

Undo, Redraw command:

annotation test.dgn5756.Features_Survey_MDOT.xmlraw test.xml

    I will take a look at your files and get back with you.

    We have been asked to look at this again with you. Please post a dataset. Include the xml and smd file along with any dgnlib. It may be helpful to have a video of the steps and any configuration variables you have set that pertain to the survey portion of the program.

    I'm sending the files through the Secure File Upload.

    Steps that I did:

    1: Open the blank .dgn and load the .xml into a Field Book.

    2: Changed the Feature Definition of the MS point to MH. No change in annotation color.

    3: Ran Survey Redraw tool. No change in color.

    4: Changed MH back to MS. No change in color.

    5: Close PowerGEOPAK and reopen the same file.

    6: Change MS back to MH. Annotations for this point only change from ByLevel to 0.

    7: Run Survey Redraw tool and all annotations in the file change from ByLevel to 0.

    If you can't duplicate this I can make a video of what I'm seeing. Our full workspace can also be downloaded from here: mdotjboss.state.mi.us/.../getDocumentById.htm;fileName="MDOT_02_Workspace_2016-08-26.zip"

    I can duplicate it somewhat in your original file but when I create a new dgn from one of your seed files, link the survey feature definitions that are in your workspace, then import the survey data you attached earlier, I can not duplicate it.

    Here is a video of the steps with the me test dgn I created from your seed file.

    Thanks Beebe. I'm going to try some other things when I get a chance and report back. In short though the .dgn I sent was a copy of one seed file. When we create a new file, we click the new file button in the File Open dialog box and use the appropriate seed file. We still get the same result. If I understand what you said correctly- if you do this you don't get the same result as the video shows, but if you just open the seed file I sent and import the Survey data, you do get the same result?

    Been a long time but I wanted to post a follow up as I figured out the issue. Our default Text Style is set to color 0. After creating a file and then closing the software completely, then opening the same file again- when using the Survey Redraw tool it is looking at the color of the default Text Style for the point annotations. It seems like this should be going by what the SMD file has specified during Redraw just as it does during import?
