To Alter Drawing Objects Using Object Properties

You can define a property alteration that modifies a property of queried drawing objects based on another property of the objects.

To alter retrieved objects based on their properties

1. In Map Explorer, under Current Drawing, right-click Current Query, and then click Define.
2. In the Define Query Of Attached Drawings dialog box, load or create a query that retrieves the objects you want to alter.
3. In the Define Query Of Attached Drawings dialog box, click Alter Properties.
4. In the Set Property Alterations dialog box, under Select Property, select the property to change.

   For example, if you have color-coded the objects in your drawing and you now want to move objects to layers based on their color, you would select Layer as the property to change.

5. In the Expression area, click Properties and select the property that you want to base the change on.

   In this example, we want to move objects based on their current color, so select Color.

   Click OK to close the Select Property dialog box.

6. Click Add to add the property alteration to the Current Property Alteration list.
