Place Template from template library in a drawing

We create typical cross sections as part of our plan set. I've seen guidance from Bentley on how to use different parts of the 3D corridor model to cut cross sections in specific places and then use those cross sections as the typical cross sectio...

Bevel vertical face of stiffeners/connection plates at web

When the connection plates or stiffeners are placed, they are appearing half-embedded into the web with an equivalent gap on the opposing edge. For it to actually be correct, the plates should be beveled to match the vertical face of the web.

Civil Annotation - Set to NOT scale

We have civil annotation that we use to annotate point geometry. It would be extremely helpful to have an option to set the "Is Annotation" property to "False" in the settings. This can be done after placement, but that is not obvious to users.
