Thanks. Also shoutout to Long Beach, I see you have affiliations with CSULB(my alma mater and the LBC being my hometown!)

No not yet. But I did just download and install the latest version of ORD (2022 R3 (10.12.02.04)) and will be doing some evaluations on the settings. But I am honestly not expecting to see any improvements there yet.

Joe,

Thanks for responding. Have you figured out a way to incorporate a filter within an annotation group to avoid label overlap?

Aaron,

I believe that option only exists for the "Frame Annotation" method of annotating. I do not believe (on your version, or any later versions to this point) have the ability to adjust for collisions when annotating "on the element" (within each section).

Is this still the proper way to avoid label overlap? I am using ORD 2021 R2. I don't see this option on the interface for Manage Annotations

Hi Christian,

You can set proper values using the collision tab in the manage annotation group to avoid text overlap.

Ah!

It may not. A lot of plans production tools haven't been completely integrated from any of the previous packages. But I'm not using ORD in a production capability, so it could have functions I haven't found yet. Hopefully someone here can give you a more complete answer.

You do have the option to file a Service Request with Bentley. They certainly could tell you if that feature made it in, and you may be able to add your name to a list requesting it if it isn't there yet.

Which version of ORD?

Version 2 was a long time ago...so probably not. I can't say if it's improved in the years since.
