I am using OpenRoads Designer Connect edition and am attempting to create some plan-profile sheets. I used the named boundary tool to create plan and profile drawing models and then utilized "model annotation" to annotate the alignment and profile, however I then need to drag some labels around to remove conflict as well as edit some of the labels to remove part of the label that the client does not want on the sheets. It seems pretty random but the annotations will reset to the original position and contain all of the original information (undo my deletions). How can I stop this from happening?
I have tried setting the update fields automatically to false, however this caused my stationing on the alignment to start at 0+00, instead of the 50+00 that it is set to, and did not always keep it from happening.
I also tried dropping the cells several times so as to loose the smart features they contain, however several of the multi line annotations break down into unusable pieces.
Please help as this is incredibly frustrating.
Did this ever get resolved??? I'm Having the same Issues with the Alignment. I move some of the PC PT STA call outs and they will go back to the original position once someone adds anything to that alignment in the Alignment file
It is improved in 2021 Release 2. Requires a couple of tweaks to the workspace setup. The new capabilities allow the labels to remain in place after you have moved them. Search for the videos announcing the version release for details.

Robert - How did you tweak the workspace set up to make it work? Thank you in advance.
There is a new property in the Annotation Items. By default, it retains the original operation. The video on new features that Robert mentioned will demonstrate the method to enable the new capability and demonstrate what each setting does.
