Objects won't change colors!

Objects won't change colors!

Objects won't change colors!

(OP)
Drawings received from architects often have gridlines and grid bubbles.  On the bubbles, I've exploded, redefined block, placed objects on layer 0 and changed properties while exploded, and still can't change color.  Why?

RE: Objects won't change colors!

Check to see if you have truly exploded the block to basic objects.  Try to change their properties to make sure they are lines, circles, arcs, plines, etc.

RE: Objects won't change colors!

IFR is right. Make sure they are not a ADT object or are defined in a way that the color property itself will not change it.

RE: Objects won't change colors!

(OP)
Thanks, But what I've did was try to redefine a block to layer 0 and the changes are occuring only in the lines, not the text.  Text color in the block won't change.

RE: Objects won't change colors!

Is the text color "ByLayer" ??

RE: Objects won't change colors!

(OP)
Yes, I draw totally bylayer.  I've been doing this for over 4 years, and I've never had this problem.

RE: Objects won't change colors!

Does the text style specify the color?

RE: Objects won't change colors!

(OP)
That was it.  I really appreciate someone taking my head out from where it was!

RE: Objects won't change colors!

Whew !!  I was beginning to doubt reality there for a while...Glad you got it fixed.
