Stopped drawing plans in 2013 and was using X3 at the time.

Still have it installed on old laptop and started it up today and still works fine.

Can someone please refresh my memory on the shortcut to change a layer's color ?

I possibly could have changed the default also, but don't remember the name of the shortcut file to look for.

K will cycle thru the colors for the current layer. Is that what you were looking for? I don't recall if X3 has the Status Panel or the Layer Manager but you can click the color boxes on those to change colors as well.

Yes ... that is what I looking for, that shortcut K.

X3 does have the Layer Manager and I also had a toolbar menu that changed various options, just could not remember that shortcut.

Thank you !

FWIW you can also key the letter L then F7 and select the layer color there.

And you all probably know this, but just in case, SHIFT+K cycles the colors in the other direction.
