Hey yall,
I have a spec sheet 24x36 sent over to me by an Architect in DWG format from an autocad drawing. all of the lines are white and I would like to change them to magenta, all the text is red, I would like to change them to cyan, etc. Isn't there a way I can change all things in an area box that are white (for instance) to another color instead of having to do it one line at a time while avoiding the text? Seems like I saw that being done once on a demonstration video.

Mask is really useful for more things than I ever imagined when it first was added to DataCAD. I now use it so often that I have a macro key dedicated to masking by color. I'll use the other properties too, but color seems to be the one that I use more than any of the others.
The more that you play with it, the better that you'll like it.
Have fun,
Woody
