When annotating elements using an affix (prefix or suffix) tied to a Text Favorite, OpenRoads currently annotates the affix even if the Text Favorite evaluates to a blank or null value.

This results in:

• Stray symbols, separators, or units (e.g., “–”, “:”, “ft”) appearing with no primary value

• Manual cleanup or conditional workarounds

• Inconsistent annotation output across drawings

Proposed Solution

Add an option to suppress affix annotation when the associated Text Favorite returns a blank value.

This could be implemented as:

• A toggle in the Text Favorite or Annotation settings (e.g., “Hide affix if value is blank”)

• Or implicit behavior where affixes are only rendered when the primary Text Favorite resolves to a non‑empty value

Benefits

• Cleaner, more professional annotation output

• Reduced manual cleanup and post‑processing

• Better support for conditional and data‑driven annotation workflows

• Improved consistency across plan sets and standards
