Apply cut/fill annotation to surface templates

When creating a cut/fill End Area Volumes table on cross sections, the annotation does not work for surface templates. If there is no corridor in the cross section, it will not even place an EAV Table. The cut/fill EAV tool works and displays the ...

Improve drawing annotation management

Sometimes we apply more than one drawing annotation to the same model. It would be good to have a model manager view with all the applied annotations group so that we can disable, remove or add. That way we could select what we want to remove inst...

Create KMZ files that allow geometry annotation on export.

This would allow annotation on Geometry to export to KMZ files. Currently you have to drop status on all text annotation on geometry to be able to see it in a KMZ file.

Enable 3D annotation from 2D annotation

It would be advantageous to be able to link 3D annotation to 2D annotation. In order to be able to create stationing as 3D text on an alignment in a 3D model, you currently need to do it manually. It would be desirable if you could link a 2D anno...
