Selecting and Changing Multiple Items

[Anthony Rhodes]

Currently I am working in an existing description key but I have noticed this little problem on most anything that you can manipulate in a list or spreadsheet format. Points are another example I can think of. Anyway back to the description key example. Say I want to change all of the point label styles to a new label style. Is it possible to do this in one shot or do I have to continue to pick each item and change it one by one.

Like I said I am pretty sure this has been talked about before. I am not sure what exactly to type into the search engine to answer my question. If there is a link someone can point me to there is no sense in re-explaining it here.

Thanks for your help,

After you select the items, right-click on the column heading of the value that you want to change and pick edit.

I know this works for points, not sure about Dkeys.

this might be useless info but like jeff said, if you select one label, the whole group is selected and you right click for your options. If you only want to change one of them then just hold CTRL while picking the label and then right click.

Let me clarify. I was referring to selecting items in the item view in Prospector or in the Panorama.

The tip Anthony gave is useful when selecting labels in the drawing.
