hey guys i fixing my coworkers drawings and because his english is not that well he will copy and paste his notes from various drawings. these various drawings have different colors of text so his notes look like a bowl of fruit loops see attached image. i'm wondering if anyone has something similar to the bylayer lisp that will make all of the text colors bylayer. you're gonna love this...

I'ma write a lisp routine to randomly change my text colors like that.. Add it to my qsave routine so everytime I open the drawing, they're all different colors from what they were the last time I closed it..

Why not just grab alla text and in your properties window (Which EVERYONE should have open on thier second monitor) click on bylayer..

[sarcasm]Yeah ... well I might just as well put the properties box on my third 42" flat panel plasma monitor, after all it is smaller than my regular 60" monitor.[/sarcasm]

well if you have standards at work as everyone should...atleast for layering...

All the text should be on the same layer....

Modify this code for your lisp....

Code: [Select]

(defun C:textch ()
(COMMAND "-LAYER" "MAKE" "0" "")
(COMMAND "-layer" "color" "yellow" "text" "")
(COMMAND "chprop" "all" "" "color" "bylayer" "")

  (princ "\nText is now the right color")
  (princ)
)


Simple lisp routine but it works...This will select everything and make the color bylayer though...if its not what you...oh well!!

You need to change:

Code: [Select]

(COMMAND "-layer" "color" "yellow" "text" "")


To what ever your layer is and what ever color you want...

"yellow" = color
"text" = layer

Hope it helps.

With a topic of 'Fruity leaders', I might of thought you were talking about your boss.
If that the case my boss is one of those fruity leaders!  :lol:

i uploaded an example at the beginning of the post but here's the situation. because his english is not that great he will copy and paste a note together from various drawings these drawings have different color text because standard is a foreign word around here too. so one leader can look like a rainbow. this is not a problem for him because he has made modifications to his pen settings but when i print the drawing it looks dreadful. i basically need something that would select all of the leader text in a drawing and change it all to red
