Polylines as width targets

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

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

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...Smiley Frustrated

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.Smiley Happy

 

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.
