In this drawing the block objects were created with the Color=Yellow instead of ByLayer/ByBlock and will remain yellow.
Placing the block on a different layer or changing its color won’t change the block color because block objects created with a specific color won’t change color.īlock objects won’t inherit the current layer color properties: Block Object Properties Reference.
You receive an AutoCAD drawing from another user and need to change block objects to another color for printing.īut placing all those blocks on a different layer or changing the block color in the Properties palette doesn’t change the block object colors.įor example in this file all the computer blocks should take on the green color of layer 'Computer' or the color assigned in Properties but remain yellow:īlock objects were created with a specific color instead of ByLayer or ByBlock.
