    Default Changing attributes color bylayer...?

    Hi Folks,
    How can I change attributes color to bylayer on a global method, I have a punch of panel schedules the the color is set and I need to change color bylayer. Normal I have to pick each attribute to make the change but each panel has 20 attributes x 20 panel schedule means alot of time.
    Is there a global command to do all at once...?

    I use Autocad 2011 LT.

    Thanks in advance

    Found a solution:

    Used REFEDIT then ATTSYNC.

    Using these two commands changed the attributes color to bylayer globally.

    BATTMAN command then ATTSYNC also works (and better IMHO).

    So I've gone into the block I have and went to properties - color - bylayer... it is staying black (layer is on color 240). I go back into the block and try to do color "240" - its still black. In the main file I do "battman" and try to change the color to 240... no change!! What is going on? This works fine when its text but when its an editable attribute/label it isn't working for me.

    Editing a block doesn't affect existing attributes. This is by design. Try running BATTMAN command.
