Vertically Aligned Collision Free Cross Section Frame Annotation when Using Horizontal Text

Using OpenRail 2024


Vertical Frame Text significantly increases the height of Cross Sections, THUS causing more sheets. Would like the capability to have Horizontal Text in a frame, one row for Offset, one for Elevation.


While this can be done, when you start using the collision items, there is no way to do this and have the text aligned vertically (see attached screenshot with yellow lines showing the alignment of the text).


Was looking into using text favorites with multiple cross section annotation values to solve this, however, the way the Annotation was set up with the drop downs then duplicates the text causing other issues.
