Michelvh Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I know I should know this but ... When I make a new class the the Fill is always solid red and the line is always solid blue and the texture is always none. How can I change the default to Fill solid white and line to black and texture to my generic white? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted August 21, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 21, 2017 It's weird but fixable. 1) In that specific document, not a new one, activate the selection tool and deselect everything by tapping ESC or clicking in a blank area. Confirm that the Object Info Palette shows No Selection. 2) Look at the attributes palette, it will probably have a fill of red and a pen of blue. Set these back to the colors you want. 3) Create a new class, check the fill and pen. Should be back to normal. This probably goes without saying, but: if you DUPLICATE an existing class, it will simply pull the colors from the duplicate, so make sure to create it with the "New" button in the organization dialog or by picking New from the dropdown in the Navigation palette.

Can you use the "Set Default Attributes" command hidden in the triangle menu at the bottom of the Attributes Palette to do this? Kevin Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted August 21, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 21, 2017 You can but if that item is stuck (this used to happen a lot but i haven't seen it recently, old habit) the above resets it. 1 Quote Link to comment
