Property Line Sub Categories

Property Line Sub Categories

It would be useful to have sub-categories available for Property Lines so that the line style can be controlled without graphic overrides.  For example, I want to show both a Property Line and a Building Setback line with a different line style.

I found a couple of posts with workarounds:

1.  Select the property line and override by element the line style.

2.  Create a filter by Comments, Name, or Mark and override the line style.

3.  Create a line style specifically for the desired sub-category and use model lines.

All the same, it would be more efficient to have a predefined sub-category of Property Lines rather than having to set overrides for each view in order to display the lines as desired.  The Property Lines category has unique properties similar to reference planes which make it better than using model lines to represent the civil line-work.

 

On a related topic, perhaps Property Lines could be modified to allow for embedded text labels as well.  Given this is a unique line type/style, perhaps the limitations that have prevented embedded text in line styles being implemented elsewhere could be integrated into this unique category?

This would be very helpful indeed.

Alternatively just be able to Edit Type of a property line and control the line style / colour there...

Hi, I would really value this feature.

In the UK, planners expect a red line round the proposal and a blue line round other land within the applicants ownership.
I currently indicate both with a property line and overide the colour in each view. This is a bit clunky and would be nice to have the lines with a type attached and also to vary by phase. Perhaps with the ability to refernce in a legend too.

Thanks

Peter
