Is it possible to stylize an object retrieved through a feature source query based on the feature class definition instead of using display styles.
For example, when I query "City Boundaries" they come back as Mpolygons that have default properties; color=7, pattern fill=7, layer=0.
I want to specify these basic entity properties without creating styles in DM. I've hacked the feature class xml, and re-attached it to my working drawing. I can create a new feature with this modified definition, but when I create a new feature source query, I get a new feature class (original name + "1") based on what I assume is a mismatch between the Db schema and the hacked feature class definition.
Is there any way to pull this off?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
