From what I can tell, plan and profile annotation groups are set in the base geometry file's feature symbology settings. My problem is, I have other exhibits that use the same alignment but I want to use a different annotation group for the plan and profile. Is there a way to use a different annotation group in an exhibit file when referencing in my base geometry file?
You can use different annotation groups on a profile - create ProfA with one annotation group, and ProfB with another. However, not with plans,
This still requires me to have multiple copies of my vertical geometry and each set to a different feature definition/symbology. I fear having to create duplicates of alignments just to change how things are annotated because of the inherent risk of duplicate geometry not always matching.
You do not need multiple copies of the profile - what I meant bu 'ProfA' and 'ProgfB' was two different drawings, but using the same active profile.
How do you show different annotation groups though? From my understanding this is set by the feature definition of the geometry. Also, this requires that all profiles have to be created in the master geometry file which I would prefer if some people were not allowed access to those files.
I add a Profile Named boundary, and when it comes to Sheet model , I select a Different Annotation group. The image below shows 2 different style from one profile (the one on the right does not fit on the page properly (red outline), due to me not knowing that group i.e. wrong sheet size) - the profiles are annotated in the corridor file, not the geometry file - which means you do not have to allow access to those files.
This changes the Grid annotation but not the actual annotation of the profile line (VC, VPI, VT, K, etc), which is what I am looking for. Is this correct?
