We have been running into an issue for awhile where we will get profiles or alignments prepared for plans by moving or modifying text that doesn't always fit what we need when ORD displays it, and when the horizontal or vertical alignment DGNs get updated by designers it resets everything our cad team has done to get that information ready for plans. Text information, placements, attributes and all that.
Our current solution is to copy the text and paste without formatting (ctrl+shift+v) to remove any association that OpenRoads has applied to get the information displayed. For us having static text is much better than the associated text we are given.
So my question is, are there any tools in ORD that will disassociate the text but leave the data that ORD generates? Or even a way to pick and choose when to associate? It seems ORD needs to refresh the data, check, and recheck this data constantly as well, which is probably part of why everything resets. Dropping the text doesn't fix it either.
Current version we are using is ORD CE 2021 Release 2 (10.16.02.16)
Hi Scott, you might want to look into "white space management" since you're using 2021 R2. But since I'm not, to make annotation static I will typically drop it twice - the first time it will still say annotation, the second is when it reverts to just text and won't refresh.

white space management should be able to help quite a bit I think, thank you very much.
The dropping helps as well but if I have the Text box checked for the second Drop it will break it down to geometry, this is why dropping wasn't working for me previously.
