Change in Color of Object

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone,

I read message from Mr. Andrew Ingram regarding change in properties of an object.

I tried to change color of one of the entities using those commands  in one of my lisp file.

But somehow it is not changing the color.

I have got a Layer named LW2 and its bylayer color is Cyan. I want my Mline to be in LAyer LW2 but its color to be 8 (i.e. RGB: 128,128,128).

Please help me on this.

Here's part of the code:

(setq c1 (getpoint "Pick Start Point: "))
(setq c2 (getpoint "Pick End Point: "))
(command "mline" "j" "t" "s" 100 c1 c2 "")
(command "change" "l" "" "p" "la" "lw2" "")
(command "change" "l" "" "p" "c" "8" "")
(command "explode" "l" "")

 I also tried change command by removing "" for integer value of 8. But still its not working.

So please help.

Thanks,

Bhaumik

Untested...

(setq c1 (getpoint "Pick Start Point: "))
(setq c2 (getpoint "Pick End Point: "))
(command "mline" "j" "t" "s" "100" c1 c2 "");; 100 as a string
(command "change" "l" "" "p" "la" "lw2" "")
(command "explode" "l" "")
(command "change" "p" "" "p" "c" "8" "")

 First explode, then change the color using the selection method previous...

Ok, it works. 

Thanks a lot for the quick response Mr. Henrique.

I am still not able to understand why it doesnt work with Both lines in mline mode. Is there any specific reason?

You're welcome, Bhaumik

Mlines, have a strange behavior in relation to color, neither behave such as blocks, if the color at mline style if is defined as Byblock,  we still can not change the color, so first explode then change the color...
