Changing colour (pen) of multiple elements.

Not applicable
Please can someone tell me if there is any way to change the colour of many different 2d elements at once i.e. selected lines, polylines and arcs/ circles. AT the moment when i select a lot of items and change the colour in the info bar, it will only change the colour of one particular element group, until you manually double-click on another element button. This is both frustrating and time consuming when dealing with other peoples 2d drawings incorporated into my own.

There must be a quicker way, surely?

Regards.

It's the "hammer in the square" button that appears in the info box when you have more than one type of element selected -- it's official description is "Edit Selection Set" -- it will allow you to edit colors and/or layers.

Thank you VERY much.

I'd obviously missed that section of the manual when I started on AC 4.5 and ever since!

Thanks for helping.
