What the hell? That's the entire point of being able to dref a pipe network. I mean, that's the entire reason for the existence for the parts list. How else can I change a type 1 inlet to a type 2 and it display correctly? They will have the same structure bottom, but the top will be different. I guess this is why FDOT went with building the entire structure top and only using a structure outline for the style. I just don't get it. The really strange part is, some times, when you swap a part and update in your dref file, it actually changes the style to match, but it's never consistent, and it doesn't always pick the correct style.
I have always tried to remain on Autodesk's side, but this has pushed me to the dark side.
With surfaces, it doesn't really matter if the style carries over since it's that portion may be different from drawing to drawing (color/etc.), but with the network, where your display is based on the style, you HAVE TO HAVE it update accordingly.
A user can't be expected to swap a part in the pipe network file, then go to each file the network is drefed in and update the display style.
What are other people doing to combat this?
