Hello,

I have a follow up to this question asked almost a year ago.

We have been doing the suggested for irrigation blocks and have recently been looking at alternative ways to do this. What might be helpful is to have an existing irrigation symbol for the point of connection equipment as well as the valves. When selecting meters, backflow, and so on there is one block that is selected. Is there a way to swap between 2 different blocks, an existing block and proposed block. One option we looked into is using the "point of connection size" instead of the "water meter size". But we still want to show the location of the meter and calculate the pressure through the backflow and meter because sometimes we are given the pressure in the street or off site. 

The reason why we would like to do this is because typically the civil will show the backflow and meter and we will pick up the irrigation point of connection downstream the backflow. Our office standard is to "gray out" the existing equipment and the civil's linework so we would like to continue graying out the civil's point of connection equipment.

Please let me know if this is an options. 

Thanks, Amanda

Amanda,

We have a mockup of the new Source Data dialog box, which will allow selecting a different symbol.  This is scheduled to get completed this year.

In the meantime, the workaround is very easy -- just edit the POC block, and move all linework to a non-plot layer.  Then you can just place whatever symbol you would prefer on top of it.  Or you could set its X and Y scale to be very, very small, still just to allow having a more preferred symbol be visible instead.

Thank you Jeremiah,

We look forward to this future update and will continue doing what we have been doing, similar to what you have suggested.
