Per attached screenshot - can the polyline Name field be edited anywhere to give a meaningful name??

[#2]

I have never found a way to change it. I wish we could though.

[#3]

I've gotten into a habit of converting the polylines to alignments just so I can get a name to show up for targets. Makes it alot easier to have names.

Thanks for the replies - the alignments trick is a useful workaround but could clutter up the drawing quite quickly...

neilyj,

I like to use Feature Lines specifically for this.  Create a Site specifically for your Horiz Targets, and also make sure they are on a layer all by themselves.  Also when creating the FL make sure you always NAME it!!!  This way it will show up in the Targets Dialog box with a name.  I find it no different that using a Polyline.   No need to use a FL style for this. 

Regards,

That's a great tip.

I never thought about using a feature line because I did not need the vertical component to do a widening. I will use named feature lines in the future.

Agreed - that's the tip of the year ...so far
