Assign point styles and point label styles

00:07

In this video, we're going to assign point marker styles and point label sales to points that are already inside of this drawing file.

00:15

We're going to do this by editing a list of the points and forcing an assign marker style and label style.

00:23

In order to show this list of points, we're going to go over to the Prospector tab of the Tools window and right click on Points.

00:31

We're going to select Edit Points and the Panorama window of all the points in this drawing is going to display itself.

00:38

If you navigate over to the right hand panel of this Panorama window, you're going to see a section where it says style and points label style.

00:49

Under style, if you select the empty box and you click it twice, a Select Point Style window is going to show up.

00:56

Right now, we have none selected.

00:58

If we dropdown, we can select any of the available point marker styles that are in this drawing.

01:03

I'm going to go ahead and select benchmark and select OK.

01:07

And I'm going to do that through the other three remaining points.

01:20

Like I did on this, all the points are the same and they're going to have the same style and the same point label style.

01:26

A faster way of doing this, instead of selecting every single one, is to select the first one and select the last one,

01:33

and a list of ones that you want to have the same label style or marker style,

01:37

and continue to hold down the shift button while you select any of the boxes.

01:44

A Select Label Style window will pop up and you can dropdown and select Description Only,

01:50

or any of the other ones that are available from point labels that are already in this drawing.

01:54

I'm going to go ahead select Description Only and select OK.

01:57

And it applies description only to all of the points that I had shift selected.

02:02

So I'm going to go ahead and check the green box in the other corner to accept the changes that I made.

02:07

And if I zoom into one of these points, you'll notice that the point style marker changed and the point label style changed.
