CHANGE PEN (ChaPen)

Type: Interactive Application

Changes entity pen numbers (colors) by pointing at individual entities.

Detailed Description

Change Pen allows the changing of entity Pen Number by pointing at individual entities and selecting a new pen number. If VrOne is using a Pen Table then changing the pen number of an existing entity modifies that entry in the current Pen Table. If VrOne is not using a Pen Table then only the Pen Number of the current entity is changed. There is a “Change like” option when a Pen Table is not being used that will change all entities like the current entity to the current Pen Number. For example: If the current entity is a line in layer 23 and the current Pen Number is 2 (Red) then pressing 'Change Like' will change all lines in layer 23 to Pen Number 2.
