All Notes are set to default to "Text, Notes, Foundation" layer

[gravattedesign]

I recently noticed that the default layer for my Plot Plan Notes is not correct when the default box is checked. Where is the setting for changing the default layer for the default check box?

Thank you for helping sort this out.

Checked under Edit Active View -- Selected Defaults

Tea Time,

Thank you for responding. The pic I uploaded is the Active plan view edit window /"Notes" edit / Line Style/Layer. The Plot Plan Notes Default layer (with default box checked) is set to "Text, Notes, Foundation"...where is it getting this default, when the default box is checked?  I hope that is a clearer explanation.

 

Best regards,

Out of the box, objects are assigned to System Default Layers which are hardcoded into the software and are not user-assignable and cannot be deleted, although their name can be changed. "Text, Notes" is the System Default Layer for Notes. Checking the Default Layer box sends the object to the System Default Layer, NOT your "default" layer. You don't want to check the box unless you want the Note to go to the System Default Layer.

 

Did you perhaps change the name of the out-of-box "Text, Notes" layer to "Text, Notes, Foundation"?

 

Just set up your default Plot Plan Note (under Default Settings > Text, Callouts and Markers > Note > Saved Note Defaults) to use the Plot Plan Notes layer, and they will be created on that layer. Ignore that checkbox- you should see the correct layer in that field, with the checkbox off. And change "Text, Notes, Foundation" back to just "Text, Notes," and create a new layer for Foundation Notes.

Yes!! Thank you Chrisb222..I did at some point change the System Default Layer "Text, Notes" to "Text, Notes, Foundation" instead of copying the System layer and renaming the copy.

Wow, excellent catch and thank you for understanding the question so clearly.

 

Best Regards Chris.
