Hi Dave,
Perhaps you could provide the ability to over-write the settings for a
particular object. Let's take parcels for an example. I create new parcels
and their settings are all defaulted to the current style, say with a label
bounded by a rectangle. Now, one or two of these parcels, I don't want the
label bounded by a circle but I want everything else to be the same so I go
in and modify the settings for that (those) particular object(s).
Everything else is inherited from the original style and if that style is
modified, the object would be modified as well except for the settings that
where overwritten. This way, I wouldn't have to go create a completely new
style just for one object.
I don't know if this goes completely against where Civil3D is going but it's
just a thought.
