Drawing Production Element Annotation

Question

Hello, using OpenRoads Designer CE 2021, NYSDOT Standards WorkSpace and Workset. In Survey workflow Drawing Production, I'm Trying to Annotate All Elements in Model, and it's not doing anything, any thoughts?

Each point or linear graphic that's required to be labeled needs an Annotation Group assigned to its Feature Definition. Last I checked, their workspace Feature Definitions for many (if not all) survey features have *no Annotation Groups assigned. The graphic below will explain where to look and potentially assign a group for a given Feature Definition and Symbologies. 
 *EDIT: This may be by design. The intent of NYSDOT's workspace may be to utilize the Civil Labeler tool "Survey" labels. The tool can label by group selection.

There has been some confusion over the correct tool to use when labeling these elements. Make sure you're using the Element Annotation tool and not the "Drawing Model Annotation" tool. 
 
 *EDIT: Illustration of the Civil Labeler tool options available.
