Ok, but now I’m at a loss as to why there is a SYMBOL on/off button in the first place.
shrinking the symbol to nothing also works. bobb On Dec 8, 2015, at 11:14 AM, McDonaldR <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Bob Yeah, there is work being done on making the UI UX better at the moment so this might get in. The label is part of the style hence the disappearance when the symbol is turned off. Your best bet then is to set the label style and set the symbol style transparency to 100%. Bit clunky but will give the look you are after.

Ross, Well that’s intuitive (NOT!). should have guessed it was something like that, especially as a long time Mac user. :c) Thanks. That was it, sort of, now the label goes away when I click the symbol off . . . I’m labeling from an Attribute column. bobb Looking for this type of label (see the point in there, I set them back up to a size from the previous “zero” value in order to see the setting take effect), but the label goes bye-bye when I click the symbol off. : <image002.png> On Dec 8, 2015, at 10:55 AM, McDonaldR <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Ah ok So double click the first rule.
