Automatic colour colour coding to identical blocks

Yash.Bhosale8G36P — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 08:24:46 GMT

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a lisp code that can help me colourcode my blocks upon slecetion.

For example in the above image. Every rectangle or module is one block and I have selected 6 of them for which i want a different colour background so that it is differentiable. It can also be a continious colour patch for the selected blocks.

(something like this)

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks 🙂

Use bedit on your block and if the color is a solid hatch then set it to byblock. You can then change color to what ever you like. There is various examples of say random color or next color and so on.

As suggested by @Sea-Haven, assign the color BYBLOCK to whatever part of the Block you want to vary in color, and assign your varying colors to the Block insertions. The variable part could be a Solid Hatch, a [2D] Solid object, a Polyline with width, a 3DFace or [3D] Solid under some Visual Styles -- whatever. And that part can be colored variably even if what looks like an outline in your image is not [given BYLAYER or some other override color assignment].
