Hello Jakub.

I think, it depends on how you create a stationing with feature definition. There are two options, like you said, from Bot to Top or Top to Bot. If you set stationing to your line you are creating cross section, it depends how you set it up.

It works like if you put mouse on your line, you can see a narrow on one of two ends - and where the narrow is depends on which half of line you are.

Draw line
Set up feature definition with stationing
1. Set feature definition - set it active - set up annotation (it's not necessary)
Use Geometry - horizontal - Complex by Element
1. move mouse on your line, you will see a little narrow on one of two ends of the line
  1. and this shouls change cross section way as you want
Accept Complex by Element
Create cross section
1. you should see difference

Here is my solution, if you did not get you problem I am sorry, I tried my best.

P.s. I was trying the same thing and it worked for me

As I replied in the other (exact same post) - they only go from bottom to top at the moment.

by any chance, do you know if we are able to specify direction of those created cross sections? In Power InRoads(SS2/SS4) in Preferences window, we could choose ordering like "Down to Top" or "Top to Down". Within InRoads it looked like this (it's not in english, but you should get it):

I've already found 4 civil crosssection variables, but I have no idea where to specify the direction of newly created XSections... By default it is set to Bottom to Top and we need them to grow opposite way (Top to bottom).

I'd be glad for any help.

My problem was, I could not see changes after I change some Annotation setting, but this seems good and helpful for me, so I hope it is going to work for me and my company projects.

Thank you so much Marcus.

Here are where the learning resources for XS annotation in ORD is stored.

Our delivered dgnlibs have settings where you can annotate XS similar to as seen in photo.

Specifically what problems are you having?
