Modify the pens used in a project

[Titiriga]

Hello! I have a question. Is there a way, other than manually going through each element in a project (template file), to modify the pens that are used? Let me clarify what I mean with an example:

Let’s say the pen in slot 10 is used in different elements throughout the project, but instead, you want all these elements to use the pen in slot 20. The color, pen weight, or description of each pen doesn’t matter — all I’m interested in is the slot itself. Is there an easy or automated way to achieve this?

Thank you.

Hi Titiriga,

You have several method:

-if You need this change just for some specific object you can set a graphical override that will overwrite the pen 

-otherwise you can create a new pen set where you swap the 10 field setting with 20 and assign this new set to your plan but this will apply to all object that have this pen so maybe it's not good for you 

- with search and found you can select the objects that you want to create and then change the pen setting. You can select for example all the window, door etc. enter and change pen setting for them 

-there is also this tool that can help you if you want to change the pen

Thank you Matteods. Edit Selection Set is very interesting, I didn't know about it. It May be of use even if its not what I was hoping for as a solution.
