Profile annotation group NOT populating in dgn correctly???

In OpenRoads, I have customized the linear profile annotation group to match our company and INDOT standards. However, when I create a profile in our .dgn, only some of the customization appears, and also some appear that I have deleted from the linear profile annotation group. For instance, I customized a text favorite within an annotation label to show VPI station, elevation, and parabola curve length under the top border of our grid. I removed the VPT/VPC labels along with many other out of the box labels and everything looks fine in the preview window of the editor. When I create a profile in our dgn, the annotation group populates the parabola curve length in it's default setting as well as the VPT/VPC labels, along with an elevation at the bottom border for each VPT/VPC which I removed, along with VPI points. The VPI is then show as more of a default setting, rather than the text favorite I created. Again, everything looks fine in the annotation group preview. I have made these changes in our feature definition file of note. Also, is there anyway to show a line type between the cardinal points circles between the VPI and VPT/VPC points? Very frustrating to see the profiles populate the way they did after feeling confident about the annotation group customizations!

  • The version I am using is 10.02.00.60. Yes, I have watched the annotation videos many times, these ONLY cover the out of the box basics. The problem is that everytime there is a change made to the annotation group in the feature defintions, the groups then need to ALSO be deleted from the model file, and then reassociated again, before they will populate correctly when making sheets. This is a waste of time! Not to mention the fact that you have to delete the annotation defintions as well before reassociating the group, which means deleting each association label 1 by 1, because you can't grab all of them and delete them at once. There are 20+ labels associated with the out-of-the box profile annotation group. I have worked through these problems through trial and error, the only problem I have now is in my profile sheets, there is a double annotation for existing strip grade. In the profile annotation group I created, I added an additional label for the existing. Now, even though I have deleted the out-of-box Existing Strip Grade Profile Annotations from our Feature Definitions file, somehow, from somewhere, it is pulling this information???

    I have never uploaded a file within this community. Seeing how my issues deal with .dgnlin files also, what exactly should I upload?
