Stevery Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hi! I have a floor plan that I would like to save as a xref file but before I do that I want to change the colour of everything on this dwg to 252. I change all the layers to 252, and yet there are some parts which still show colour - the blocks! The whole layout is in a block itself, so I go inside the block editor for that then there are blocks like doors inside which I can't edit because im already in the editor? For now I have been bursting everything (some multiple times) just for me to be able to change the colours to by layer. Is there a simpler way I can get around this without bursting all the blocks?

MillerMG Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Before I got to the second to last line I was going to simply suggest burst. Could you possibly post the dwg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilidawg Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I always make my block elements on layer "0" and set the colors and configurations per layer. I've had to go through other peoples drawings and change that, because I'm A-R that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
