I have a drawing that I received from an outside company and I would like to change the layer colors to all yellow. when I go to the layer manager and select all of the layers and change to colors I receive a message that says "an exception has ocurred in a component of your application, click continue and application will ignore
object refernce not set to an instance of an object" and when I close the layer manager the layers are not changed. I then tried to select all of the objects on the screen and make sure they are by layer and they are. I looked for filters they might have used but there are none.
Can someone please help me? I nead to change these colors
force changing does work but I would rather not do it that way
I appreciate your help

Karen,

Can you post a sample of the problem drawing?
Or forward a copy to me?

Or try inserting that drawing as a block, and then exploding it in
a new drawing started from your default template.

Or try attaching as an XREF and change the colors in
the layer manager afterwards.

Note: I have moved this thread from the New User forum to this one. I believe this question is better suited here, and that the New User forum is for new users to test out the features of the forum.

You could also try selecting all entities & changing their colors to yellow from the properties palette (2004/5).
