Sam Jones Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I have a PIO that places a symbol of a certain class. That symbol contains symbols that are in a different class. Is there a way to make the symbols inside the parent symbol use the class attributes of the parent symbol? Unchecking "Use at Creation" for the sub symbol classes has no effect. Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hi Sam, On a Design Layer, I don't think so. In a Viewport, maybe, but probably not by the PIO's control. Others may prove me wrong. Without knowing more of what you are trying to achieve, I don't know what else to add. Raymond Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I agree with Raymond. I don't think there is a way to do it automatically. I posted a wish a long time ago for a setting for Class to be By Parent. Since this is in a PIO what about not using the symbol, but just storing it in the object and exploding a copy so you can set the class to what you want. If someone later ungroups you will have a problem, but at least you could get your object to look correct with correct classing. But you would also lose the ability to report on those contained symbols. Quote Link to comment
Sam Jones Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Thank you guys. For the particular workflow, there is a workaround involving more symbols. Quote Link to comment
