[Solved] Using the Graphics Tool to change line color and style

Post by RoamingBob »

I've been staring at the User Guide, and repeating the operations attempting to either change a line color by selecting via the change pen tool, or change the line styling by the line style tool. I can't find the sequence of actions to get this to work. The only way I can change either of these is with the Edit Element option, which would be tiresome to do in a line by line manner.

Any pointers out there?

Just use the Apply Color tool.
Select the new color or select an element with the color as reference.
Now select all elements that should get this color.
If the elements belongs to a group - you can change all at once.

Okay. Thanks. My efforts have involved changing a color when here is not a prior element in the desired color to use as a reference.
I see from your response that I can change one item and then use it to recolor the rest by the method you stated.
