Problem

When I use the Element Annotation tool to manually annotate a Profile component it doesn't display the correct annotation cell, but when using drawing rule based annotation in the same drawing the results are correct.  How is this possible?

Solution

The cell selected for Profiles in the Annotate Tool Settings dialog was set incorrectly resulting in unexpected graphics when manually annotating Profiles within the drawing.

The Architectural Drawing Rule being used for Profiles, however, had the desired cell explicitly selected instead of using the Default Annotation Assignment cell which is why the Auto-Annotation results were correct.
