    Default Setback Lines with Properties Like Property Lines

    Please chime in if anyone else feels the same: Can we please have setback lines that are crucial elements for catching encroachment, behave like property lines. Setback lines should be able to be named with characteristics (such as utility easement, alley, Land Development Code setback) applied to them. If this functionality is already present, please disregard nad someone point me there.

    Specific tools for each category of site related "linework" is very desireable.

    In the meantime I use property lines for these too. I then either use Linework to make them look different or now with 2008 we can override the appearance of each element directly via Right Click.

    I used steve's recommendation and it works great. Similar to creating property lines, I create setback lines also. Also, I have created a tag that grabs the comments off of the property (setback) line. This way when I tag the setback line in any view, it says for example 5'-0" side setback. parametric and consistent throughout the project.

    While we wait for more enhanced functionality, a simple approach is to create a new line style & call it "set back line" and draw them as model lines. Then you can turn them off/on in your various plans. When I need to see them in elevation, I'll also draw a ref plane in plan first.
