Batch Changing Text Color that is no longer ''By Layer''

dany_rochefort — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 13:38:23 GMT

Good morning, i have a bunch of text that is on the correct layer, but the color has been manually changed and is no longer ''by layer''. I am trying to ''batch change'' the text color back to ''by layer'' in 1 move.

Is there any way to do this ? Or must i manullay go thru it all ? Thanks in advance...

With the provided information you could right click on the text and use select similar to highlight all text, then change them from varies to by layer. More like two steps, but should be quick.

You can also use the .QSELECT command and select options: Mtext or Text, color, <> Not Equal, Bylayer.
