ORD Version 2021 Release 1
Good afternoon! As I am trying to fix our company's ORD Standard dgnlibs, I am using a testing project that was provided by our DOT. We have slightly modified the DOT's workspace to meet our company preferences. When I go to annotate my profile for the Plan and Profile sheets, some of the annotations are coming up on the level "Default." In my experience thus far, ORD puts it on Default level when the element template is not being found or is invalid. I have had to create a couple of new ones for our grid lines, etc.
This being said, I have gone and reassociated our Proposed Profile Annotations to the proper library, verifying the levels are valid, correct, etc.
Some annotations work and have updated, others don't. I have read a previous question on here about this happening, but his issue was that they were not in separate dgnlibs and mine are.
I am working in Projectwise. I had a Bentley rep go through some troubleshooting yesterday and it did not work.
Here is an example:
Both special ditch annotation groups match exactly, yet the leader line (it is separate annotation than the words) will not update. Both should have white leader lines on the level RDY_Annotation. The SPD RT updated fine, but not the SPD LT and they are both set up exactly the same in the Annotation groups.
Another example: The slope on the proposed slope is not on the Default Level, yet the note calling out the VPC is on the Default level. It is set to the same element template as the slope and it still shows up as default.
To say that I am frustrated is an understatement. The sole reason for making sure these levels show up right is so that it's not flat on the print out. Also, I am testing the workspace and standards to make sure that when I add more annotations to the RDY_Profile Annotation group that they will annotate without locking up the ORD file, which has been an issue with some of the designers. I am testing to make sure its working properly, so if the designers have this issue I can figure out if it's user error or within the standards.
Has this happened to anyone else? I have spent 3 weeks trying so many things, starting over, etc. and I feel like I am missing something. tips appreciated.
