alfresco Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have text within a symbol that will not update regardless what is indicated in the attribute pallet. The pen colour remains black even though the colour is blue in the attributes pallet. I can toggle between defaults etc with no change to the pen colour. How to get the symbol text to update? thanks.lm Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Changing the attributes of the Symbol itself won't change the attributes of the objects contained inside. (There's no functionality in VW like AutoCAD's "0" layer). So you need to double click to Edit the Symbol, choose 2D component (I presume), and then select the text object you want to change. You can confirm in the Object Info Palette that you have a Text Object selected. Then you can change its Attributes in the Attributes Palette and they should affect the text. Quote Link to comment
alfresco Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yeah. That is what I have been trying to do. I am in 2D component of the symbol but I cannot update. Strange! Quote Link to comment
EAlexander Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Is the text somehow a symbol inside of your other symbol? When you select it, does it say "Text" at the top of your object info pallet? Or... Is the stroke color (pen) set to class color instead of solid?
