FEATURE CLASSIFICATION

[VBOYAJI]

I AM CURRENTLY USING FEATURE CLASSIFICATION TO DRAW MY CONDUITS. I AM USING OBJECT DATA IN MY FEATURE CLASSIFICATION. THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD, FEATURE CLASSIFICATION WOULD NOT ALLOW A USER TO MANIPULATE THE LAYER TYPE OR COLOR. HOWEVER, I AM UNABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK.

pLEASE HELP

Hi VBOYAJI

Please note that I have moved this thread from the AutoCAD 2006 Tables forum to this one. I believe it would be better served here.

Feature Classification really doesn't stop a user from changing an objects layer or color. It will revert objects back to there default properties that are defined in the classification when you access an objects data with the feature data tab in the properties palette.

Also, something I have found in older versions of map with this tool (haven't tried it in 2006) is that you have to set something in the range field in the classification. Otherwise Map will not use the default. Of course the range can be just one item that matches the default field.

Hope that helps.
