    Default Re: Default styles in Create Points

    BTW, here's what the "Help" says.

    To edit the Default Style settings
    Open the Edit Point Settings dialog box using one of the following methods:
    Edit settings for all point-related commands: In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, right-click the Point Edit Feature Settings.
    Edit settings for a specific command: In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand the Commands collection under the Point collection. Right-click the desired command. Click Edit Command Settings.
    If needed, scroll to Default Styles and expand the collection.
    To specify a default point style, edit the Point Style setting.
    To specify a default point label style, edit the Point Label Style setting.
    Click OK.

    As I learned in a class provided by (contact for information)
    what you will want to do is open the Create Points dialogue, and then Expand that out so you can see the Points Creation parameters, just below Default Layer, therein locate the DISABLE DESCRIPTION KEYS and set that to TRUE, your points will then assume the correct style as desired.
    Otherwise C3D is attempting to MATCH the point style to that style as specified by the Description Keys, even IF you don't have any established.
    The other application of point styles is best done BY GROUP, as a best practice.

    Feel free to Pick My Brain, only I will refer you to the source of my information
    and he will be only too happy to assist.

    That did it. Thank you very much.

    Also you can change "Disable Description Keys" in the point creation dialog then change the default styles of your points.
