Hello
I am new to DataCad 20 . If you have a drawing with 40 light fixtures existing on a drawing, and each is a pre defined block (light fixture) that has been previously inserted,
and you want to revise all 40 fixtures with one operation and change say size, color, layer, (etc) how is this easily done with DataCad?
In Autocad REFEDIT command would do this. But in DataCad how is this easily done?

With DataCad can you make a custom toolbar and place the most common commands used on a new toolbar, and locate on the work area at a convenient place?

Thanks in advance. H. Hampton

You can right click on the light symbol (blocks = symbol) and edit the symbol which will change all the instances in that one drawing.

Yes you can create custom toolbars and also create command alias to quickly access commands. See page 583 of the Reference Manual which can be accessed from the Help Menu.

Thanks, very helpful.
