ADDtoCAD
Change colors easily - including items nested within Mtext, Tables, Blocks, and Dimensions.

General Usage Instructions

Once objects are selected ColorSwap will read their color values and display them in two columns of color boxes.

There are three ways to set new colors to change to:

  1. Click on the color box in the 'To' column to show the Autodesk® AutoCAD® Color form and then choose a new color.
  2. Press the Set All button to choose a new color for all shown colors.
  3. Press the Load button to set previously selected colors.

Press the Reset button to restore the color of the 'To" column color boxes.

Press the Save button to save the selections to a .col file, which can also be edited manually.

If blocks are found in the selection, extra options appear to control whether to:

Redefine all blocks, only change Attributes, skip all Blocks, or prompt for each Block.
