Is it possible to drop, convert or lock annotation texte (favorite or cell) once they are generated from the geometry feature definition

Hi Gilles,

The ability to drop a text field to normal text is finally now available in MicroStation CE Update 13 (using the drop tool) and I expect that this will be used as the Base for ORD 2019 Release 3. You should be able to do this shortly.

i want to drop text fields to standard text for a slightly different reason using ORD 10.06.00.38 to create my annotated plans/profiles and read then in MS 10.09.  is there a workaround to do this?

What you can try is while you're in ORD, go to the properties of your models and set the "Update Fields Automatically" property to "False". You'll be able to open your model in MicroStation or PowerDraft without the fields changing to ####. You can then drop them in MicroStation U13.

Apparently this does not hold true for Civil Labels. They completely break and loose all information. Export form ORD 2022 to MS CE 16

I have also tried with setting Update to false, but they still break completely. The only workaround is to make a copy of the file and drop to text.

In my opinion there should be included an option to drop at export. Drop rules, drop parametrics, drop labels, drop everything and create a shareable 2D/3D model.

The Civil File Manager (an EXE file located in the program directory for ORD) Has an option to Downgrade Civil Model which includes to choice to "Remove Civil Model".

I haven't tried this with Annotation, but it might do what you are asking for. I could be worth trying to see what output you get.
