Create a label style that is not affected by the parent object layer
1 Select label 0+120 to select all major station labels. On the Properties
palette, under Labeling, click the field next to Major Station Label Style.
Click Create/Edit.
2 In the Major Station Label Style dialog box, click
Selection.
In the Label Style Composer dialog box, on the General tab, in the Label
category, notice that the Layer is 0. If a label style is set to layer 0, any of
its color, line type, and line weight properties that are set to ByLayer or
ByBlock will inherit the corresponding properties of the layer on which
the label resides.
3 Click the Layout tab.
In the Text category, notice that the Color property for the Station
component is ByLayer. This means that the major station label text
inherits the color of the layer to which the style refers. Because the label
style refers to layer 0, the major station label text inherits the color of
the label object layer, which is C-ROAD_TEXT.
4 In the Color row, click the Value cell. Click
component color to blue.
Notice that the text color updates in the Preview pane.
NOTE For greater control of color, lineweight, and linetype, keep all style
components set to either ByBlock or ByLayer, and the label style layer set to
0. Then, you can use the layers to modify these properties. This tutorial uses
a specific color setting to demonstrate how layer settings affect styles.
5 In the Component Name list, select Tick.
In the Tick category, notice that the Color property for the Tick
component is ByLayer.
6 Click OK to apply the change in color to the Major Station component
and exit the Label Style Composer and Major Station Label Style dialog
boxes.
