When I annotate my alignments, all of my annotations are level default where as the stations should be TextAlgnStationxxx, TextAlgnStationxxx, etc. I have never seen this happen before and dont know how to fix it. I am trying do 200 scale sheets, but…

The option to manage annotation is not available in my drawing model. It is greyed out. How can I activate this? Why is it not available? See photo:

In one of the projects , the requirement is to display the station , element details and slew values in plan at 90 degree to the alignment . station , on algnment points is displaying as required when we annotate the alignment but the slew's text direction…

Hi... Is there an option to add alignment annotation group text labels at all even locked stations except station zero? Thx for your patience, Kevin.

Has anybody come up with a way to prevent the stacking (or bunching) of Cross Section Annotations in the Annotation Group Settings? One way I have used in the past is setting specific ITL points within the Annotation Group to label, but that only works…

I'm trying to annotate kerb types using item types to store and recall the type for each element. I've managed to do it fine for civil geometry which shows the correct value assigned to the geometry (top one below) but it doesn't seem to work for a…

Is it possible to define within the Annotation Group for plan alignment annotation to vary the text favourite used based on element length? In this example, I would like to use a text favourite with transition geometry text on 1 line for elements greater…

I have experienced an issue where element annotation is not scaled correctly. The annotation is defined in a custom text favorite. This is due to the text annotating with the "is annotation" property set to "false", when it should be "true". Is this…

I am running into some issues when trying to annotate turnouts within a profile. The issue arises because the turnout was placed on a linear element before creating a complex, the result of this is that the mainline alignment for the turnout is still…

Hi there, I was wondering if there is a way to tweak XS Annotation Groups so that my slope label comes out as a ratio? I know it picks up the even ratios (like 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, etc.). Is there a way to label the slope as an uneven ratio, say 1:3.6? …

Hi - we've created an annotation group, to annotate our horizontal alignments and it displats correctly and as intended in the model it is created in. Once this is referenced into a drawing however, and rotated, I have noticed that the dumbells rotate…

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…

Hi all, Reading through previous posts, it looked like the vertical annotation in plan did not support the annotation of vertical curves or instantaneous changes in grades (or was incorrecty annotating it) Can someone pleae confirm if this has been…

Hello, my cross sections are not labeling the cross slopes of my proposed shoulders. I am using the default cross section annotation group. Is there something I am doing wrong in my template design? How does the annotation group even know what to label…

I've search high and low and am not able to find any documentation on "Annotation Filters" and how the "expressions" work. There's nothing in OpenRail Designer Help Website about Annotation Filters or Cross Section Frame Annotation. Does anybody…

I am not sure if this is part of the configuration or a default setting but the annotation groups are making a local copy and not updating with changes to the library. Is there a way to not make local copies but have the annotation groups read from the…

I have created models within an alignment file for 20, 50, and 100 scale. I have created annotation groups within this alignment file for each of the aforementioned scales. When I use the element annotation tool and check the override box it only shows…

I am having an issue with slopes in cross sections after an upgrade to ORD 2021 R1. The screenshot below shows that I have created a linear annotation definition for slopes and for the target criteria I have identified one component of the template…

I'm using ORD 10.10.20.78. I'm preparing a group annotation in my DGNLIB file to annotate vertical alignment when creating Sheet and drawing models. When looking at the available vertical point s there is no option for exemple a crest curve followed by…

I've read all the previous posts on the subject, but still I can't get side slope annotation to work. I've created 3D feature lines, and used the "create 3D by slope to target" function to create my earthworks extents. What I'd like to do is show the…

Hello, I have some difficulties getting the side slope annotation to behave as I want. I am not sure if I have set it up poorly or if I am using the tool it the wrong way. I am using OpenRoads Designer 2020 R3. If I remove any intermediate points…

When I create cross section named boundaries, sometimes there is information outside the fixed left and right offset widths that needs to be shown. I have been manually extending the named boundaries in 3d view (before creating sheets & annotations…

Hello, This question has already been posted but I wanted to see if there was an easier way. . Can I create multiple profile views (different alignments) in one sheet model? One of the project I am working on has a lot of small side streets and I am…

Hi all In OpenRoads Annotation Groups, is there a way to specify major station labels to be in units other than the working units? On really small scale plans (1: 10 000 or smaller), it's impractical to have station annotations in metres. It would…

I'm having issues with cross section labeling using the XS Annotation Group. It seems as though only certain slope %s get picked up to be labeled. Is there a simple way to add these slope labels to the annotation group library? Or even to manually label…
