Changing the Color of an Object

You have three choices for changing the color of an object. You can

• Reassign the object to another layer with a different color. If an object's color is set to BYLAYER and you reassign the object to a different layer, it will acquire its color from the new layer.
• Change the color assigned to the layer that the object is on. If an object's color is set to BYLAYER, it will acquire the color of its layer. When you change the color assigned to a layer, all objects on that layer with a BYLAYER color will be updated automatically.
• Specify a color for an object to override the layer's color. You can specify the color of each object explicitly. If you want to override the layer-determined color of an object with a different one, change an existing object's color from BYLAYER to a specific color such as Red.

If you want to set a specific color for all subsequently created objects, change the current color setting on the Object Properties toolbar from BYLAYER to a specific color.
