3 Select the new label. On the Properties palette, notice that the label is on
C-ROAD-TEXT.
When labels are created, they are placed on the layer specified for the
label object in the Drawing Settings dialog box on the Object Layers tab.
The drawing settings for this drawing specify that alignment labels are
created on the C-ROAD-TEXT layer. For more information, see the
AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Specifying Object Layer Settings.
4 On the Properties palette, click the field next to Line Label Style. Click
Create/Edit.
5 In the Line Label Style dialog box, click
In the Label Style Composer dialog box, on the General tab, in the Label
category, notice that the layer style is C-ROAD-BRNG. This means that
if any of the color, line type, and line weight properties are set to ByLayer
or ByBlock, they inherit the corresponding properties of the
C-ROAD-BRNG layer, no matter what layer the label object is on.
