With this LISP routine, we can easily do so in one click (as shown below). To make the “Proposed” drawing have a good contrast while both drafting and printing, we override the existing drawing XREF’s colors on color 253. This is useful in some of my work’s drawings because we work with existing conditions as an XREF to the “Proposed” design which is also an XREF. Here is a great lisp routine that lets you simply select an XREF and change all of the XREF’s layers to a specific color (color 253 in this case). Īnd I made a blog post showcasing it īTW – One of my first blogs posts is about the ADDSELECTED command back in 2010. He even addressed the issue of Polygons and Rectangles. If you are interested in a LISP alternative, Kent Cooper put together a LISP that allows for versions of AutoCAD prior to ACAD 2011 to be able to have this command. One other issue that I run into is that if I select a polyline that has global width applied, Add Selected doesn’t apply the width. So the Add Selected tool does not know by what means that polyline was created, so it simply starts the Polyline tool (alias PL). If you have objects that were created using the Rectangle tool (alias REC) or Polygon tool (alias POL), the resulting object is a polyline. There are some limitations to this command to also be aware of. Give it a try and see how much it helps!! Even if the object has property overrides such as color, linetype, Linetype Scale… Add Selected will set those properties and start the command for you to create a similar object. In the video below, I create a new dimension and a new center line without knowing what layer or style they have. Regardless of your current settings, such as Layer, Dim Style, Text Style… You can easily recreate an existing object by simply selecting the object, Right-click and select “Add Selected” from the right-click menu. The tool ADDSELECTED has been in AutoCAD since ACAD 2011 and It has saved me a lot of time. You can even write a script to do this if you would like to do it automatically.

Note: As long as the text style and table style are not being used by objects in the drawing, this tip should work to get rid of these styles from your drawing.

Once the editor is open, simply right-click on the “Legend” text style and select Delete.

Or you can open the Text Style Editor using the command STYLE or its alias ST.

With the Table style “Legend” now gone, you can use the purge command and purge out the “Legend” Text Style. Close the Table Style Editor after the style has been deleted. Select Delete from the right-click menu.Ħ. Right-click on the renamed table style.ĥ.

Or by using the command TABLESTYLE or alias TS in the command line.Ĥ. (This should relaunch the last used command). Reopen the Table Style Editor by hitting enter. Select Rename from the right-click menu and type in a new name.Right click on the Legend table style from the list.Using the command TABLESTYLE or its alias TS to open the Table Style Editor.So for those who want to delete these styles (Text and Table) here’s how: But you can’t simply delete the Legend table style (how frustrating…) The trick is to first delete the “Legend” table style. What makes it worse is that the purge command doesn’t purge this style even if it isn’t being used by any objects in your drawing. But this style has made its way into so many other drawings and is frustrating for those who simply don’t want it in their drawings. From what I have read, the “Legend” text style comes from AutoCAD Map.
