Line & Color Same / Automatic Selection

cocoloco — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 02:18:58 GMT

I would love the option to create groups for line & color. means if I draw in line XY, it would automatically use color&thickness that I pre-set up. Not that I have to constantly change both and in between. This would save a lot of time.

It is not hard to change the pen colour of a line, but if you really need to, you can save line favourites for each pen colour (thickness) that you want.

Then just activate the favourite and the colour/thickness will be set - as well as the line style, arrow ends and other settings.

My image shows "Solid - red -text layer" but shows a black line.

That is because I changed my pen set colour and have not updated the favourites.

And, to add to Barry's example of using Favorites so that you can set up the line/colors that you want... you can quickly switch the line tool to use any visible line (type and color) by using the eyedropper tool.

Update: To clarify, using the eyedropper tool switches the active tool to whatever you've clicked on... with all of the settings of that element. So doing an eyedropper on a line will activate the line tool to draw more of that style line. Doing it to a Wall will activate the wall tool, ready to model more walls with identical settings. Etc.

Ok will test that tomorrow as well this would be life changing because I constantly change lines and colors although they are all coupled same (dotted has certain color and straight has certain colors). Didn’t know about favorites so hopefully it’s accessible . Thanks and will give update ☺️
