Hello fellow InRoads Users,
Im about to begin the process of updating some InRoads cells that we have been using for some time and I would like to take advantage of MicroStation functionality in MS-SS2, specifically Annotation cells.
The limited testing that I have done seems to work with text assigned a text style within a cell, but I haven't had much luck with just assigning a cell to be an annotation cell.
My workflow is to place features such as EOP, ROW, Building face labels and etc... at an InRoads scale factor of 1 (one) and let MicroStation annotation scale handle the scaling. I have a cell set as an annotation cell for testing. It places correctly outside of InRoads,but not when placed by InRoads.
Have any of you had any luck with this?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Chuck
Chuck,
If text scaling works for you, you could convert your cells to a font and place them as a Symbol using your new font. PennDOT placed the cross section earth block onto the cross section sheets in v8.5 with a font, character 'a' and the old TOPO 100 font had many symbols for the surveyors. The problem with fonts is there is no way to control their size / scale when you create them. It is trial and error to get them to the correct size.
