ID Labels are annoying!!!

[slinky1561]

Can I, and I hope I can, stop them ANNOYING labels apperaing when I create Features???? All I want to do is turn them off as a Default setting, stop the Automatic display of Feature ID's. And annother annoying thing whilst I'm at it. How do I stop the 'Virtual Keyboard' appearing every time I load PCDmis??????? It's so....................

NOPE, ya can't turn off the labels until there are labels to turn off. For YEARS I have wanted to change the defaul color of the features. I use a black background (well, almost black bacause of Pcdmis) and the new, un-dimensioned features are very hard to see.

You can probably change the default coulours of features in the OPENGL settings in the Settings Editor. Have you tried that???

just right click on one of the labels and say 'hide all IDs'

[slinky1561]

Yeh, I know that, but all that will do is hide the labels that are currently on display. I want to stop them coming on in the first place.

In 3.7 MR 3 once the labels are off they stay off until you turn them back on. Even as you measure them again, they stay off. I like 3.7 Mr 3.

Ahhhhh....maybeeee?!!
Will have to see in mr3...

I thought I had checked that before in trying to change the generic, default color, but I figured I would check to make sure. Nope, I could not find anything, anywhere in the SETTINGEDITOR to change the default feature colors. Anyone else got an idea? Does everyone get BLACK features when they are created WITHOUT a dimension?

See if this will work:

F5
ID Setup tab
Go to the "Labels For" pulldown and select Features instead of Alignments
Uncheck "Show All ID's"
Hit "Apply"
