Cross section annotation

Question

Hello, my cross sections are not labeling the cross slopes of my proposed shoulders. I am using the default cross section annotation group. Is there something I am doing wrong in my template design? How does the annotation group even know what to label? Is it based on points, lines, features? Thanks!

 The annotation filter shown at about 3.5 minutes into the video is setup to only annotate segments to the left of the centreline, that are not zero slope, and that have a width greater than 4 ft.

Matt, 
 This looks like the FDOT workspace. If so, there is a limitation defined for slopes so that it doesn't label any segments that are 2.75-ft wide or less. I believe this is to reduce clutter. You can change this setting either at the workspace level or in your individual DGN files. In Explorer, go to Annotation Groups, right-click on XS Annotation and select Manage. Here is one example of where you can change that setting:
