What is the method for setting snap distances, line weights, grid origion and other preferences across all layers at once. Maybe "globally" is the correct term.

I used to know but can't seem to pull it up again.

Line weight is global.

As for gridsnap settings there is a macro available on DataCAD's web-site called Gridlock.

You can download a copy of a toolbar button from my website that I made that sets most of my personal preferences for Datacad. If your comfortable with creating toolbars, you can modify it to fit your needs. Get it .I don't want to post it here as it will make the forum all stretched out. :wink:
