Object Visable When Layer Turned Off

[Anonymous]

For some reason points are still visable when the layer they are on is turned off. Also the layer is green but the point is red. Color is set to ByLayer.

Think of a point as a block; the point goes one one layer and the objects that control the display of the point can go on their own layer (just like linework in a block). If you turn off the layer the point is on, that doesn't necessarly turn off all layers associated with the point. 

Go into the point style and see what layers it's using (in your case the style is being assigned via the point group so look for it there). On the display tab, you'll probably see something like this:

As you can see, the marker within this point is being displayed according to the layer "V-NODE". If you want a style to display according to the layer and the properties of the point itself, set up a "By Block" style, like this:

I guess before I loaded C3D 2014 I must of had a lot of setting the way I wanted them and have forgotten how I had gotten it that way.

I checked the pt style and no layer is assigned. I'm not sure why. Suppose I want to use Basic for points in different groups and those different groups I want on different layers. How can I make it so that all the point features end up being on the the layer the points get imported to.

I remember this being automatic before.

Thanks

BTW how do you get your screen shots to appear in your post without having to include them as attachments?

That's an Expert Elite secret...LOL.  Naw, just click the Insert/Edit Image button between the hyperlink button and bullets.  Looks like the button has a tree on it.
