In AutoCAD Civil 3D ‘Create Points’ dialog, under Parameter if you expand the ‘Default Styles’ collection, you will see the default ‘Point Style’ and ‘Point Label Style’ field and their corresponding values in the ‘Value’ column as shown in the screenshot below –
If you want to change these default style values using Civil 3D .NET API, you need to get the SettingsPoint object first and then update the Style and Label styles value as shown in the C# .NET code snippet below –
using (Transaction trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
// get the SettingsPoint object
SettingsPoint pointSettings = civilDoc.Settings.GetSettings<SettingsPoint>() as SettingsPoint;
// now set the value for default Style and Label Style
// make sure the values exists in DWG file before you try to set them
pointSettings.Styles.Point.Value = "Benchmark";
pointSettings.Styles.PointLabel.Value = "Elevation Only";
trans.Commit();
}
Once you run your custom application the default style and labels style value for Point object will be changed –
Hope this is useful to you!
