Where do the settings come for display of horizontal annotation like stationing in SS3? I know that within each style you can turn on auto-annotate which defines if you want annotation on or not, but where do the settings come from? In SS2 users could define a preference which had to be named the same as the style of the geomtery and then similar auto-annotation would occur. Is this the same in SS3?
Also, if I define an element template and assign it to the plan text of this particular style the annotation disappears altogether. Does this imply that the element template settings are ignored when annotating stationing for alignments?

Hi,
you have to export your geometry to native format and then annotate. Currently, OpenRoads technology doesn't provide tools for annotating (possibly in future releases).

That is incorrect. Within the style of a linear element there is a setting for auto-annotate. When set to 'True" elements with this style are annotated with stationing and cardinal points. I am wondering where the settings for this annotation come from.
Marc: It works the same as in SS2. The settings come from files in native civil product. Geopak DDB, InRoads XIN or MX PSS file.

Robert,
That's what I thought. I was able to get this to work but am seeing another issue coming up after annotation is placed. If I draw a line which has annotation turned on the stationing appears as expected. I then place a curve from this line and trim the element back. The annotation then updates along the curve but it is not removed from the portion of the line that was trimmed when placing the arc. Any ideas?

Is this true?
