Circle Edit All ( Drawing Editor )

Tool summary :

  • Automatically opens a window for multi-editing all circles that are on shown comment layers in your current drawing.
  • Shown comment layers are visible comment layers (comment layers marked " Show "). Since Circle Edit All works only on visible layers, you can -- prior to activating this tool -- turn off particular layers to exclude circles that are on those layers from being edited.
  • Since Circle Edit All operates exclusively on shown comment layers, the version of the Circle Setup window that opens using this tool is fully editable.
  • Circle Edit All can help you to ensure that circles are drawn consistently. When the Circle Setup window opens, you can easily identify mixed entries because they are grayed out . If you then, for example, change the " Pen color ," all circles on shown comment layers will be assigned that same pen.
  • The selection of objects that is made prior to using Circle Edit All does not affect the operation of the tool, nor does the tool affect the selection. For example, if you have circles selected before you activate the tool, the circles remain selected after Circle Edit All is done.
  • To invoke Circle Edit All and edit all circles that are on visible comment layers:

    Method 1 : Click the Circle Edit All icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Objects -- Circles ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).

    Method 2 : If " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Objects > Circles > Edit All .

    Method 3, 4 or 5 : Circle Edit All can also be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the ' Lightning ' layout style, configuration of the interface is done using Customize Interface .
