The Plant Symbol Conundrum

[kenoeightspot]

I see what you are talking about. I can control the "Cad Block" by layer or object, but when it is associated with the plant symbol it reverts to by object, which is fine but is not controlled
by layers unless you check " Use image settings". I have been using "Block settings"

Bill, I swear I am going nutty. Please look at this plan. Note the plant symbol is on the plant layer. I CAN NOT control the line type of the plan via the plant layer, but I CAN control it by the cad layer. That does not make sense does it?

On the original plan I posted, the good plant symbol I can control via the plant layer. This makes sense to me.

Are you seeing the same thing as I? I hope this isn't mac thing.

Bill, if you can open the plan and control the line style of the plant via the plant layer, please save it and repost so I can take a look, thanks.

Is this what you wanted.

Is this what you wanted.

Nope, your plant does not have a fill. My plant does have a fill.
How did I do that? I do not know.
Can I do it again? Not yet.

So you now see that I am not getting what I want. But please note the symbol in the very first plan I posted....... I do get what I want with that one...... can you explain this? I can't.
