khoshravan Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Color of an Object, in a layer is not ‘ByLayer’. I try to change to ‘by layer’ through object properties but it doesn’t accept and keeps the color. What is the reason and how can I change it into another color?

SLW210 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Is the object a block? Can you post the .dwg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhupp Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Is the layer locked, xref, or like SLW210 said a block? Edited December 16, 2022 by mhupp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please answer in case it is block? In the same line I have the next question. Is it possible to unblock a block? How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Insert the block, explode the block, use CHPROP to change the color of the object in question, redefine the block and select the objects that made up the original block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can edit the block with the REFEDIT command or The BEDIT command. From there you can make changes to the block, then save and exit the editor to update the changes to the block. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Only way to pick a block and change it color with object properties is setting the properties of block objects to Layer 0 and color to ByBlock instead of ByLayer. The link above describes it as well as I've seen anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
