I'm having an issue where the length of the dimension between points of a template are being shown as the length along the slope instead of the horizontal distance. Is this by design? Is there a a way to display the dimensions as they are shown by the Dynamic Cross Section - Place Horizontal Temporary dimension tool? I'm using a linear annotation in the annotation group that targets the segment of the template. Also is there a way to set all the dimensions at the same elevation for all segments?
The example shown in a previous question (https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/192142/annotating-cross-sections-in-ord) shows as a result of what i'm
looking to accomplish in terms of accuracy and style, but unfortunately i wasn't able to recreate. Any help would be appreciated!

Has this issue been resolved? I'm having the same issue where I can not snap or it would give me a little portion of the dimension not the whole....

and it seems that the segment length annotation is a sloped length rather than a horizontal one. In the screenshot the number 7.14 is the sloped length of the red fill segment. Notice the actual horizontal length (yellow) using the Microstation dimension tool:
The best option would be for the text favorite segment category to have an additional width property:
Since this property is already present in the annotation filter:
Given this issue we can't produce cross section sheets with the correct grade and subase distances. Here is a typical cross section sheet created in Geopak. There are segment dimensions for selected grade and subase elements. The bottom table houses the existing ground info. This is the standard for cross section sheets in Israel:
Here is an update from Bentley support:
"We have already raised this issue as enhancement request to add the horizontal length at cross section annotation, development is already started on this issue and will hope to see soon in upcoming release."
OpenRoads Designer 2022 R1 Update 11 (10.11.00.115) has added the segment horizontal length property to the cross section annotation
Very good.
