Cross Section label display drawing name when referenced

[m_kingdon]

Hi all,

A have several alignments to display existing and proposed profiles cross sections with some feature lines displaying existing services.  When I reference these cross sections, the crossing labels display the drawing origin name, which is really not useful.

The crossing label is written to show the object's layer.

When you xref a drawing, all the layers names of the source have the source file name prefixed to make sure they remain unique. Kind of a necessary evil. Instead of using the object layer as the object name, if you are using a FL or alignment, you can give it a unique name and use the name in the label. C3d objects can also have a description that doesn't have to be unique and can be used in many label types.
