DennisA Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Would it be possible to make this work across 2 different projects? Save a step of having to bring objects into one project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hi Dennis, I am not sure that that would work very well. For example, imagine you have 5 different project windows open, each with some objects selected. You then get another project window, and click on an object with the Copy Attributes Tool. Would you really want these attributes to be applied to all the selected objects in all files? And what if you were copying the Layer Attributes (or Materials, etc) that did not exist in the other project(s)? In the long run it would probably be easier to just copy an object instead if you want to apply attributes from another project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setz Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Discreet Get and Set Attributes tools would not have this problem and is another of the many reasons to reimplement these very useful tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi Setz, The Set Attributes can not work between projects either, for the same reason that many of the attributes such as materials or layers may not exist in the other project... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisA Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 If the project does not have Set Attributes Criteria (materials, layers etc) can't they just be added? Similar to adding to project choice upon opening a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsOne Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 +1 to reimplement Get-Set Attributes tool. I'm assuming this would be to pick an object and then all properties (layer, material, line weight, etc...) of future objects drawn would be set to these settings. If so that is highly desired.
