i cannot figure out why when creating points it wont let me select the point style its greyed out to STANDARD and then in the point creation menu i set the settings that i can change such as automatic label or whatever else. then after exiting it resets the point creation settings.

You have to edit the command settings to allow an override. Or change the default to something you always want to use.

Ive already changed it to put it into the standard points, I meant to say it goes to default style which is a cross hair so small you can barely see it. The standard is the greyed out yet it still goes to the option.

Hi Stephen,
Change Disable Description Keys to "True". Then Default Styles won't be greyed out.

Okay that worked. So now how do I get it to stay as true because once you close point creation it resets

Under the Settings Tab >> Point >> Commands >> Create Points >> Edit Command Settings, check if you have any overrides, child overrides, or locks.

Nope. No overrides. That's the first time even seeing that menu so I know I didn't mess with anything in there.

To get the changes to stay, edit the command settings and under General change "Save command changes to settings" to Yes
