Changing surface styles on multiple surfaces

[dmetcalf]

Is there a way to select multiple surfaces and change all of them to a common surface style at one time instead of selecting them individually and changing them. For instance, changing multiple surfaces to a "no display" surface style?

First; Hello David.
Say hello to Tim Duncan for me.
And that it's nice to see CadSoft is still providing Technical Support for their paying Customers using free help from the web as the source.

Now as to your question the answer is YES!

Either select the surfaces on the screen.
Or use the Prospector Tab of the Toolspace >> Rt-Click on each surface in the Surfaces Collection
and chose the "SELECT" option on each surface the customer wants to change the style on.

THEN

Rt-Click and choose PROPERTIES

You will see an option for STYLE (it most likely says *VARIES*)
select in that window and a drop down will appear allowing the customer to select a(n) existing surface Style or at the bottom of the list they may select Create/Edit... should the style they desire not yet happen to be in the file.

You can also use the item view at the bottom of Prospector.


Pick the Surfaces collection in Prospector. All surfaces in the drawing will be displayed in the item view.
Use standard windows selection methods (left click, shift+left click, ctrl+left click, ctrl+a, etc.) to select the surfaces you want to change.
Right-click on the Style column heading (on the word style) and select edit.
Select the desired style.
