Change an object's layer, color or linetype
Change the layer, color, linetype and elevation of one or many objects at once in the Properties panel.
Once you are done, the selected objects look the way you want them. Each change is one step that Ctrl+Z undoes, even when it touches many objects.
Select the objects
Select the objects you want to change. At the top of the Properties panel it says what you have selected, for example Polyline (4).
Change the layer
Click the Layer field.
Choose the layer in the list. All the selected objects move to that layer straight away, and the field shows the layer's name.
Change the color
Click the Color field.
Choose ByLayer so the objects take the layer's color, or pick a color under Most used.
Change the linetype
Click the Linetype field.
Choose ByLayer so the lines take the layer's linetype, or pick a linetype in the list.
Change the elevation of points
Select one or more points.
Click in Elevation (Z) and type the new elevation. You can use a comma or a dot as the decimal mark.
Press Enter. The field shows the new elevation, and if you selected several points, they all have it.
If something doesn't work
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| The objects are no longer selected after you changed the layer | The layer is locked. Unlock it in the Layers panel if you want to select the objects again. |
