Command line
COLOR
Change the Color of an Object
You have three choices for changing the color of an object:
■ Reassign the object to another layer with a different color. If an object's
color is set to
BYLAYER, and you reassign the object to a different layer, it
acquires its color from the new layer.
■ Change the color assigned to the layer that the object is on. If an object's
color is set to
BYLAYER, it acquires the color of its layer. When you change
the color assigned to a layer, all objects on that layer assigned the
BYLAYER
color are updated automatically.
■ Specify a color for an object to override the layer's color. You can specify
the color of each object explicitly. If you want to override the layer-deter-
mined color of an object with a different one, change an existing object's
color from
BYLAYER to a specific color, such as red, or a true color.
If you want to set a specific color for all subsequently created objects, change
the current color setting on the Properties toolbar from
BYLAYER to a specific
color.
