Parent and Child Label Style Display in Civil 3D

When you need to create a variation of a Civil 3D label style create a child style.
A child is simply a copy of the parent that is linked to the original style. In a child style, you can override as many of the original settings as you like, and if the original style is ever modified, those changes will propagate to the child style(s).
All the modified (overridden) settings in the children will not change.
