I want to be able to set the color of a symbol based on class, independent of class settings of components that make up the symbol. I want to be able to toggle components of the symbol to either follow or not follow the style of the class applied to the symbol. This can be done in AutoCAD using PROPERTIES --> General --> Color: ByLayer on the block (symbol in VWX) so that the block follows the color of the layer (class in VWX). Within the block editor, components of the block may be set to Color: ByLayer and will always take the color of their assigned layer, regardless of block layer. They can also be set to Color: ByBlock and will follow the color of the layer the block is placed on.
