This is wierd. I just installed Civil 3D 2012 on a machine. Now, when I go to a point, right click and go to properties, the properties flyout seems to be in a different order. Also, on another machin I can do the same thing, and in the upper area of the properties dialog box, I can change the point label style and point style. I've had to do this when a point doesn't conform to its point group styles.
On this new install, the point style is about midway down and there is no option for the point style. Not only that, the option is blank (gray) and can't be changed.
Did I get a bad install or have some obscure setting different?
