Place Label in Rotated View? ORD

In OpenRoads Designer, is there a setting to allow labels to be placed relative to the current view? Similar to how dimensions and notes have always worked in Microstation.

I am trying to place a label (station, offset) in a design model with the view rotated parallel to the alignment.

  • Hi Zane, it doesn't seem possible to align a label with a rotated view. The best I could do so far was to insert the label with the label rotation set to inline and then move the leader terminator or the text.

  • Has there been any movement with this Enhancement Request? Projected timeline or availability? I see that this has not been addressed in the 10.08.01.33 Release of OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Agree. This would allow us a LOT more flexibility to choose our workflow for plans production, as well as generating plan-type sheets on the fly (or as a one-off).

    One of the strengths of Microstation over the years is that there is no need to transform (rotate/scale/move) design references to create sheets. The ability to generate sheets in "real space" by scaling a border and rotating a view has been the standard every place I've worked for the past quarter-decade. The ORD sheet creation method is an unfortunate step WAY backward, introducing extra models and production steps certain to confound and confuse. Labels that would recognize view rotation could go a long way toward returning flexibility back to the designers.
