I moved the profile named boundary in my container model with the "Adjust profile named boundary" tool.
When I go to my sheet drawing model and reannotate the profile the grid annotation doesn't update.
Is there a trick to get the file to recognize the new profile boundary and vertical alignment location?
Hi Zane,
After moving the named boundary in the profile view using either the "Adjust Profile Named Boundary" tool or normal MicroStation move tool and then in the corresponding drawing model after re-annotating the profile you should be able to adjust the position of the profile named boundary by moving the profile attachment up or down to match its position to the annotation frame. The corresponding sheet will update automatically.
It would be great if the software could do this automatically though. Also, this method doesn't seem to allow to move the named boundary horizontally (along the chainage) or to lengthen or shorten the boundary. However, you should be able to change the height of the named boundary.
Similar method seem to work for cross sections although I have problem with changing the widths of the named boundary as the annotation frame will not adjust its length. And even if you manage to manually stretch the annotation frame it will go back to the original length after next re-annotation.
Let me know if this works in your setup.

Has anyone figured out a way to move a profile named boundary horizontally and still get annotation to honor the new location?
I modified my plan named boundaries and slid them to a different station. I then created profile profile boundaries tied to the plan group, but the profile limits don't match my modified plan named boundaries.
How is this supposed to work?

This program is complete garbage but only a few people will say anything negative about it. I don't understand. The time spent investigating workarounds and ways to exploit the export to V8i capability is substantial. And then they want to charge more for licensing for the older versions. How about making the current platform better than the old ones?!? DOTs and, consequently, the end users, have been sold a bill of goods. Bentley should be making their products work for us - not the other way around. Maybe they will start to listen when everyone starts to abandon their brand for one that hasn't decided that it knows what's best for the user.
Does the new ORD release have an option to move profile named boundaries horizontally? It is a pain to manually move them in the 2021 release 2 version. So annoying.
Short answer: No. (2022 R1).
To suggest a "Best Practice" more than an answer here, I think what Zane mentioned above ..."large drawing model" is what most are doing to get around this to some degree. Michigan DOT has a plans production profile best practice video series discussing how their users accomplish a similar annotation involving the creation of saved views within an overall large drawing model to do the annotation. That way if anything shifts, it falls within that overall clipped area where the labels are held. mdotwiki.state.mi.us/.../CONNECT_CAD_Basics

Shawn,
As an update. We have been using the large profile on several projects and has worked well. We do all of our annotation in one large profile drawing model and reference this file to the sheets. Haven't had any trouble , if a sheet matchline changes we just move a shape in the profile representing our sheet limits. We may have to go into the sheet and adjust the reference but at least we have control and don't have to be concerned about creating new sheets or new named boundaries.
