Add "Make All Attributes by Class" button to Attributes palette

[E|FA]

I know it's possible to click on the tiny 3 lines and get a dropdown menu to select "Make All Attributes by Class".  However, I use the command often enough that it would be nice to have a button in the main part of the palette to change this setting.

 

For anyone interested in a workaround, see the script in this thread:

Yes!

 

I am playing around in 2024 - the new UI feels great - but the attributes panel is little changed.  There is room for great improvement here.  Just the way a hatch or tile is previewed in that long skinny box with the name over it - not great:

 

I think the suggestion of having a quick all by class button is a great idea.  I think a better layout in general should be investigated - with a better preview.  Maybe have a full lager square below that previews the settings.

Agreed.  I don't remember when the current version appeared (2021?), but I think the previous version was better.  

I haven't been using Materials yet, but would adding a "Make All Attributes by Material" be useful as well?

No. Because the only attribute controlled by Material is the fill + once you assign a Material to an object the fill is applied to that object regardless (the Fill setting in the Attributes Palette is greyed out + can't be overridden).
