pen settings

[Anonymous]

let's say I have created my own custom pen settings with different colors, line weights etc.

and I use that one, but I happen to work on an old project, which has different pen settings,

is it possible to convert that to my costom one?

thanks in advance

Through attribute manager

do I have to edit each color and pen weight again, or how that merge button works, should I export my setting first?

I may need some more instructions

thanks though

First export or save your pen-setting, and import in your new project.

You really only need to Append the penset by opening the project (with the penset) in the right pane of the Attribute Manager, going to the penset tab, selecting the appropriate penset and hitting the Append button.

You are on AC10 and have saved a penset first right? You can also do this pen by pen, but it's not really the best method in AC10.

I didn't save a pen set, how is it done?
That was my main question in this topic an easieer way,
thanks

There are no pensets in AC9 so you'll need to overwrite them pen by pen. At least you can do them All in one hit. I would recommend backing up first and making sure everything looks as you planned before moving ahead.

If you want quicker and more accurate replies you may want to include your hardware/software specs in your signature.

As obviously our crystal balls are not working properly, it would help if you put your Archicad, computer and OS data in the signature.

Or, do you think that the signatures are there for boasing what we have?
