Color

[Farooha]

Hi, when i draw lines they appear to be white. But i want them to be the same color of the layer. I know i can go and press "by layer" but i want it to be default. Thanks.

Change it in the top panel of your drawing screen or type "cecolor" at command line & change it to bylayer

Alternatively you can change it in "properties" toolbar also

Thanks alot . It worked .

Do you use the same layers in all your drawings?

As Remark says and make sure you have this set in your default start-up template

"By Layer" is the default layer color control. Once that and the layer manager color is selected, whatever object is drawn will assume the color of the current layer. The only other way to have lines automatically assume the color of the current layer is to coincidentally have the layer and line set to the same color.

I was thinking of the possibility of setting up something on a tool palette with the line command "pre-programmed" to start on a specific layer and do this for each layer in the drawing (as long as it isn't too many layers).

:wink:I guess I took inferrences from the OP's post and assumed a rank beginner, so I stuck with the "check your fuel guage" level.:wink:

 

I still forget to set my layer currency for whatever I am trying to draw. "Why are my dimensions red?":?
