Change class properties of multiple viewports

[jonathan.etchells]

Hi all.

I am wondering if there is a way to change the class properties of multiple viewports? My normal method is to change the class properties of 1 viewport, and then select another and import the properties from the viewport i have changed. However, i can only do this 1 viewport at a time - and on a sheet layer where i have say 10-15 separate viewports, it becomes a bit tedious!

Thanks.

Jonathan.

You should be able to use the eyedropper tool to copy the class overrides from one viewport and plunk them quickly down on the rest, though I am not sure what version of Vectorworks you are using, this is possible in Vectorworks 2015. Class/Layer visibilities can be altered by selecting all of the viewports at once and then clicking Classes or Layers, if thats what you meant instead.

If you can't see all of the viewports to select them (ie. they're on different sheet layers) you can still select multiple viewports on the viewport tab of the navigation palette.

The eye dropper tool works a treat. Thank you. It was more the colours of the classes that i wanted to copy over, rather than the visibility of classes.
