Where is the option to import an annotation xml file under the Manage Annotation dialogue box in the newest release of openroads. It appears to be missing. See photos:
Openroads CE 2021 Release 2:
Lastest release: Where is the import option?
It's now enabled by setting this configuration variable
CIVIL_ANNOTATIONS_IMPORTEXPORT_VISIBLE = 1
Paul:
Why would Bentley do this? It seems completely unwarranted and confuses those of us who have become used to this option. At least this configuration variable should have been set to 1 by default; Administrators could have removed this setting if users became rather "curious". It seems like Bentley has decided that they are the admins rather than the administrators themselves. This practice is totally absurd as is the lack of documentation for these practices.

I suspect the missing setting of the configuration variable is an oversight in the training and examples workspace. I've turned it on in the ANZ dataset by default and agree that we should have it documented in the help files.
By the way, here is an alternative workflow:
Thank you Paul I see that this is live in the ANZ workspace for update 12. I can see the icons! I was wondering what was going on..

Still not working for me.
That's after running the command CIVIL_ANNOTATIONS_IMPORTEXPORT_VISIBLE = 1
There is no configuration variable available
Very frustrating. I agree with Mark's comment above.
Mick:
See if you can set the variable independently as in a WorkSet variable.
Thanks Mark. You're a champion. I added the variable to the Workspace config file and now have the Import/Export option available under Manage Annotations.
Cheers,
Mick
