Sheet presentation of Drainage and Utilities nodes in plan view with annotation cells

When we initially stood up Storm and Sanitary, we had the center point presentation in plan view display a representative cell. I propose that we allow the placement through an element template of an annotative cell at the center of nodes to represent manholes, inlets, paved outfall slopes, etcetera aligned to the placement of the node, for plan sheet creation. For example, you model an inlet using DU. For your sheet you can display a cell that is positioned by your model, while the size of the graphic meets the agencies CADD standards.

    Thanks for submitting this Idea Gary.

    I just wanted to check that I understand it correctly. It sounds like you would like the ability to override the default 2D cell for a node with a different cell that's used for plan sheets?

    Can you provide a screen shot please, showing what you want to be able to achieve?

    Thanks.
