Door schedule font color

Is there a way to change the font and line color on the door and window schedule to something other than black?

Thanks,

Jim

There are two ways… If you want the text and the Border lines to be the same… select the schedule and open the “Object Selection Settings” “Command T’ on a Mac. Open the “Floor Plan” settings… unclick “use symbols line types” (and colors) and define a new pen.

If you want to use different pens for the lines and text (different text styles too)… then select the schedule, open the schedule settings by: Calculate > Interactive Schedule > Preview > Edit Settings….. click the Format tab and redefine your border lines and text.

I didn't get the same result by open the schedule settings direct from the interactive schedule menu??

That work?

Thanks Marc,

But I can't seem to find the door schedule in the object library so I can change the line and font color settings. It is a library part isn't it?

Also going into Interactive Schedule and changing the door schedule border and font settings gave me no results. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

When I select my schedule and open the settings... it's an object in a folder called "Interactive Schedule" , I don't know... thats how my templates are setup. If you select the schedule and right click >Open "Object Selection Settings"... what do you get?

After you make changes in the "Schedule Settings" hit the OK button, then you have to "Update" the "schedule on drawing"... on the "list preview/edit" window.

Yes, it's an object, but not one that you can set up yourself. It's controlled bt Archicad's Interactice Scheduler. All the settings can be found from in Calculate > Interactice Schedule > Schedule Settings, or it you if already are looking at the schedule Preview, from the "Edit Settings" button.

If you want to change all the lines and text to the same pen you can open it as a library part and un-check use symbol colors.

If you want to vary your pen/lineweights within the schedule follow Tom's directions.
