Point Label Properties in 2008

The more and more I play with 2008 the more I find that some of the tools that I was used to in 2007 have moved or been taken out.

When it comes to points using Autocad Civil 3D 2007 you used to have the ability to select a point label, right-click and go into your point group properties. While in your point group properties you could change the label style independent of the point group, and change the visibility.

In 2008 in order to accomplish that same task you must use the good ol' fashion properties window. Your properties window now has the ability set style, visibility and you can even change the RAW description.
