Symbol Annotation Style

[ewh]

NX6.0.2.8
I am having difficulty in setting the line style for ID symbols. The default values are correct (user and site, which is locked), but newly added symbols don't reflect those values. The arrowhead default is set to filled arrow, but the symbols are created with a dot; the stub length default is .25, but they are being created with a stub length of 3.0.
I've come across this several times here and have not bothered to investigate further, but now I have reached a point where it is slowing me down to have to go back and reset the values for every symbol I create.
Any ideas what I'm overlooking?
TIA!

Were these parts started from a template file? If so, you'll have to change the preferences in the template to affect new parts derived from it.

I don't know if they were...
What is confusing me is that the defaults are set correctly, but the resulting symbols don't reflect the defaults.

Those defaults ONLY effect new parts being created from scratch. All current part files, including those being used as templates, will be based on either the defaults in place when they were initially created or are simply reflecting changes made in preferences since they were created.

OK, I figured it out... brain fart on my part. I wasn't paying atention to the settings in the symbol creation dialog. I'm used to relying on the defaults to give me what I expect, and, while the defaults in this case were correct, the dialog settings weren't reflecting the defaults.
Problem solved.
Thanks!
