Active Points to Annotate Cross Sections not displaying

I'm trying to annotate cross sections using Microstation 08.11.09.714 and Geopak 08.11.09.845 SS4. I'm able to cut cross sections but when they're done and I zoom into what would be a template point there is no 'X' displayed so that I can annotate between points. Any help on resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated.

  • After watching a few videos most seem to cover how to set symbology and creating a new template in the Element Templates tool. My issues are with existing templates not having the correct settings/features applied to them.

    After determining the Feature Definition that was assigned in the Point Properties of my Templates (Feature Definition: Road_EdgeOfPavement). I then went to Project Explorer > Civil Standards > Current DGN file > Feature Definitions > Located my Feature Definition : Road_EdgeOfPavement in the Linear Groups > Right clicked on it > Properties > Scrolled down to the Cross Sections Area to determine what it was reading (Element Template: Linear\Road_EdgeOfPavement).

    I then went to Microstation Element Pull-Down Menu > Element Templates > Current DGN File > Linear Groups > Selected Road_EdgeOfPavement > Right clicked on it > Add > Text > Text Styles > Set it to ExtraSmall-CenterCenter > Right clicked on Road_EdgeOfPavement again > Add > Point > Point Character > 'X' was selected > Clicked the Close button to close Element Templates Tool

    Finally went to Corridor Modeling Task Bar > Create Cross Sections tool > Loaded my Preferences > clicked the Apply button and my 'X' character was still missing after all that.

    Let me know what else needs to be done in order to make this work. Thank you
