MillerMG Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 What in the world am I missing? I am working on simple line labeling set up style. I put the Line Style to our BRGTXT layer in the Line Style Composer as well as the Line default and made sure that it is on override and child override. When I add the label to the line it is the correct color but properties says that it is still on layer 0. I can change the layer in the properties but I shouldn't have to do that. Any ideas? Greatly appreciate it. Miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Try set to Bylayer rather than a color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerMG Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yep...Lol. That's exactly what I tried and it didn't work. I know there is something that I am missing BTW: Thank you very much for all your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Myron Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Every civil entity has an object layer that it is created on. You can find those if you go to the Drawing Settings of the drawing. (Right click on your drawing in the settings tab of toolspace.) You can further control your styles by settings layers in the style settings. if you set your style to layer 0 it will take on the properties of the object layer. Or you can overwrite the properties by setting a different layer. Just think of it as a block. You can insert a block on layer 0, but it can contain entities on layer 2. I hope that made sense.

MillerMG Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yes!! That all made sense. Thank you very much! I knew some of this but what I didn't know...great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerMG Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 How do you change the block for an alignment geometry point. Mine is set as a circle. I have it as a tick but doesn't show up as a tick. Also, on a profile view the VC is a circle as well and I need it to be a triangle.

Bill_Myron Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Alignment geometry points are part of the Alignment Style. The "block" is actually a marker point, which another style to edit. Go into the Alignment Style>Markers Tab. You will be able to change each marker for each different geometry point. The same thing with profiles. Profile Style>Markers Tab. You can use the stock ones, which I think will have most of what you need, or you can make your own Marker Style. Welcome to the world of styles, labels, label sets, markers, and codes. It will take some time, but once you get it, you get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerMG Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Lifesaver! Thanks Bill_Myron!!! Greatly appreciate the help. Yeah, the styles, labels, label sets, markers, and codes are intense! LOL. Once I get the hang of it, it's going to be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerMG Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Is there a way to anchor the PVC/PVT at the bottom of the profile? I cannot move it below the proposed grade line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Could it be the Dimension Anchor Option that is messing wiht you? You can find it on the Properties palette to test if that is the issue, to change it for real... argh, now I gotta find that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerMG Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 I got it to go below the grade line. It was a profile label setting. Then to split the PVC/PVT up from the K value you have to do a "flip label" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
