Hello!

'Is there a way to change all text same based by Layer? yes I know how to change text, all text, ... but I need to change text size/font based on layer, the same with lines..... turning off and on layers is lame option, anything else please?  

 

after this huge upgrade in Archicad on layers, like now we can search through them (😵) I am sure something like this is there I just had not discovered it?

You use find and select an set the criteria to text and then add additional criteria, in your case you add Layer

Just use find and select, and make the criteria Text and the Layer you want to change. Will only work per storey/view though. It won't change it globally.

hi!

I chosen element type = text but it selects all. (Even when I select layer on Frontend). I don’t see any other layer setting. Please could you show me printscreen ?🙏🙏
