Pointer Edit All ( Drawing Editor )

Tool summary :

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

    Method 1 : Click the Pointer Edit All icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Objects -- Pointers ' 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 > Pointers > Edit All .

    Method 3, 4 or 5 : Pointer 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 .
