I would like to use other than default English abbreviations for horizontal cardinal points to annotate alignments: PC, POB, POE, PT, etc.
Depending on project location or client we need different abbreviations to be applied, eg: English, Polish, Swedish or different for Highway Agency and Local Roads Authority and completely different for airfield projects.
Can anyone advise me? In general I find these new way of annotating quite friendly but a little assistance is welcome.
Thanks.
Adam
The ability to specify the abbreviations will be added in a future release. Until then, it can be done in the current release by creating a separate Annotation Definition for each Cardinal Point individually, and adding your abbreviation in a Text Favorite that corresponds to each of those cardinal point Annotation Definitions.
Thanks Kevin, Would you mind to expand your answer and explain how to use Text Favorite to achieve what I need? By future release you mean the next release in the "near" future or it is not scheduled yet?
Here is a video showing the workflow:

Kevin,
Any info if abbrev for cardinal points will be introduced with the next release? I am working on Country Kit for ORD and would avoid workarounding that with Text Text Fav.
Thanks!
