Can someone please tell me how I can change a colour of a reference or Block without changing the colours of the original item?
Eg. say make the colour of a reference grey

Can you just change the colour of that instance of the block, as opposed to changing the colour of the objects within the block definition?

Sorry about the late reply

How do I change the colour of a Block and have all of the contents of that Block inherit the required properties.

Hello seasdes,


I am not sure of the behaviour you want, but I don't think changing the block colour of an instance as you are trying is supported yet - even in AutoCAD AFAIK.

I would like to change the colours of certain Blocks and Xrefs in a drawing to say grey. This is needed to minimise confusion.
While this feature may not be a feature of Acad I was hoping that there may be a way of doing this in PROGECAD

Do you know what you are asking for? There would be a problem to share the resulting DWG files, and the ideas conveyed in those files, with AutoCAD users who did have support for this attribute change.

This could break the important collaboration which makes progeCAD so useful.
