We have a Design Option created in a project and we want to have everything in that Option to be dashed. Is there way to have to accomplish this without applying a graphic override on all the objects?
Also I am having my intern create a new Phase to accomplish this to see if it's easier. We already have the Design Options created but the Project Architect wants to see each Option dashed.
Thank you.

There is not a straight forward way to do this. Maybe you could add a project parameter to all categories that was "optional" or something and then make a filter on the view looking for elements tagged "optional" and then apply the filter/override based on the parameter? That might be easier than overriding every element.
Here is an example where I did this, I used the "Comments" system parameter and populated it with "Optional" and then created a view filter to change the elements based on that value.

I don't now how would you accomplish something like this without applying graphic overrides. I gather you mean you are looking for Global "override", as opposed to View override. I don't now how you would get there. But applying a Graphic Override to all the DO elements' Projection and/or Cut Line Patterns in a View could be done by simply activating the DO in the View and applying GO's by Elements.
Interesting thread/challenge. Following....
Probably not the best way to accomplish this but I created another phase and in the Graphic Overrides I made the linetype dashed for both Projection and Cut and selected halftone. When creating the Option I used the "Future" Phase and was able to get what we wanted.
Thank you everyone for your replies. All good to try.
Happy Reviting
