I was playing around with the symbology and labels for our County Roads and wanted to save the display settings as a representation and some weird things started to happen. The first screenshot is the Roads FC before converting to representation.

So Far so good, it gets converted to representation fine. However, when I pull in the Roads FC with the updated representation it looks like this:

I do not know why some of the city roads are showing up as red like the state highways. Some of the roads are state and city highways but the way I have the symbology set up, they are symbolized and labeled by the appropriate fields for the appropriate scales. Also, I saved the Roads FC as a layer file and the layer file looks exactly like the first screenshot with no problems. Does anyone know why the representation does not work the same way?

Hi Caleb.I suggest you check if your city roads have their correct Rule ID Field in the attribute table, because you can have those red lines because of one of two reasons:a. The feature's RuleID doesn't have a RuleID assigned and it displays as a NoRule Representation.b. The feature's RuleID it's the same as your highways and it's representation is the same.Remember that using representations use the RuleID as the field that assign the symbol.Good Luck
