I notice the last post on this subject is from 2007. Does anyone have any updates? What is the current ratio of municipalities requiring fixed drawing to municipalities requiring old inaccurate drawings with updated text? And what about future phases of the same project. If you do not update the drawing information to the surveyed As-Built information, what about phase two or three, etc… We work on multiple phased subdivisions, so we have to update the base drawing to the accurate surveyed information anyway to proceed to the next phase, why not use these new accurate drawings as As-Builts?
Hi Rick, I see this post has been kicking around for a bit. You probably have come up with something like this: RC the label style >> edit text component>>> format the original with dbl strike (or whatever is available to format as "out": I have to be careful about mis-guiding info these days) and manually added bold as-built values.

I work for a local government and we require as-built drawings of subdivisions. We do not care how they are done, either by adding text to the construction drawings or making a new set of drawings, doesn't matter. We need as-builts for two reasons. First being it's a local law. Second being that it helps us know what actually was built, especially the storm system for our storm water utility to do their studies. Sometimes the developer will pay a surveyor to do an as-built and he/she wasn't even involved in the original design and construction of the subdivision.
