Michael_Gia Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Are polyline labels locked to only one independent default text style? Example: If I create a "room polyline" and open it's "object layer properties" I get the two lines highlighted, one for the "polylines, labels" and the other is the specific layer that I have set up to change color, line style etc... I want to change the text style of the polyliine label but if I do this it will change the text style of ALL polyline labels used in the plan. How can I change the polyline text style only for that item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please add your support to this suggestion: A method to accomplish it is described in that thread, but it's not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have a text box with a macro, then I can change the text style just fine for that text box, but how do I refer to my room polyline so I can display info about the room polyline? I can create a room polyline and use its object specific values but how can I get a random text box containing a macro to refer to those polyline object specific values? I know I can use a text box in a room to pick up room specific values but not the polyline values. Or is there a way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Another thing I personally do sometimes is convert my polyline to a molding polyline (no molding) which gives me a second label layer to work with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Gia Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 I can’t seem to use the new “perimeter” value for a standard polyline. It only seems to work for the room polyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 A polyline has a perimeter attribute and has for a long time. A room also has a perimeter attribute now. If you want to use the perimeter of a room somewhere other than the actual room label though, you need to use room.perimeter. The latter will not return the perimeter of a plain old polyline though. It will return the perimeter of the room it is located inside of (if it is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
