    Station Offset Side Won't Update

    I have some station offset labels, I added the station offset side to the label, and by default it was set to L or R.  I changed the abbreviations in the drawing settings to LT and RT.  No matter what I do the labels in my drawing still stay R or L.  What's up?

    Version? I tested in both 2010 & 2012 and get the new OffsetSide abbreviation.

     

    Post the drawing?

    Ran in to this same problem today. Turns out that the labels were actually labeling an xref'd alignment, and the label pulls the abbreviation from the xref file not from the current file.

    That's it.  I was also labeling a xref'd alignment.  Didn't think to check that.  Thanks.
