Topic: Civil 3d: Why Doesn't GeneralSegmentLabel.StyleName = "" Work?

[nobody]

Trying to change a line / curve label using GeneralSegmentLabel.StyleName = ""; but it throws this error.

Am I doing it incorrectly? 

Code - C#: [Select]

1. foreach (ObjectId entid in mycoll)
2.                 {
3.  
4.                     GeneralSegmentLabel oNoteLabel = (GeneralSegmentLabel)myT.GetObject(entid, OpenMode.ForRead);
5.  
6.                     if (oNoteLabel.StyleName.ToString().Contains("partialnamehere"))
7.                     {
8.                         oNoteLabel.StyleName = "styleIwant";
9.                     }
10.

It says the Label Style Name does not exist. Are you sure it exists in the drawing?

I use the .StyleName property too, with other Civil3D objects, and have no problem. To be sure it works fine I always use a Transaction and open the objects ForWrite.

Positive it's in there but will try the write thing. In fact, I changed it manually, then had it list the name to be sure. Really strange :/

You cannot use a Child Stylename when assigning the StyleName property. Get, and use, the ObjectId instead.
