Survey Text Symbology: "Write Survey Data to Graphics" vs. "View Survey Data"

The text symbology for items which are displayed when using the Survey>View Survey Data>Write Survey Data to Graphics command is controlled on the Symbology tab under Tools > Survey Options. To edit the symbology, double-click an object in the Survey Symbology portion of the Symbology tab.  This will bring up the standard Text Symbology dialog box.  Specify the text symbology and select "OK".

 

However, the symbology for the temporary dynamic graphics that are displayed using the commands under Survey>View Survey Data are controlled by a combination of the "Edit View" button and the Survey Symbology portion of the Symbology tab under Tools > Survey Options.  To edit the symbology for the temporary dynamic graphics, go to Tools>Survey Options and click on the Symbology tab.  Highlight the object you wish to edit.  Click "Edit View".  Specify text symbology on the View Text Symbology dialog box and select "OK".
