Thanks for sharing!

Like anything else in AutoCAD, using powerful tools requires knowledge and responsibility.

This allows "unknowing" users an easier way to change the color and linetype to other than ByLayer, ....and to change the scale of the actual line from the default scale of "1" (this particular ability has caused headaches in our office because of novice users).

Sometimes these modifications are necessary, and sometimes it can screw up a drawing.

Very cool routine.

thanks all...

TEDG I agree with you....
I have created this routine to allow some user to quickly arrange what some
client sent. and to follow some client standards.

I've shared the code because it cool to see...and maybe useful for some user.

Hmm. . . does it come with a manual?

the manual is bigger than the source code itself !
No manual sorry.

but there is how it work:

Load the program by using APPLOAD command.
Type DLEDIT and follow instructions.

Select an entity (line, Pline, Circle, Ellipse..)
you will have this prompt : (S)cale/(L)ine type/(C)olor:.
select S L or C to change what you need.

By pressing S you will see Ltscale value changing when jost moving the mouse.

By pressing L it will change the linetype dynamicly...
if the linetype is not loaded....it will load automaticly from acad.lin

By pressing C you will see the 257 standard AutoCAD color dialog box.
choose one of them.

If you have selected a PLINE or an entity transformed to a PLINE
you will have this prompt : (S)cale/(L)Line type/(C)olor/(W)idth:
the letter W allow you to change the Width Dynamicly.

just move your mouse !

done !
