The color of a grip specifies whether the grip modifies a selected object or other objects in a drawing. Typically, a grip is used to change a property of a selected object. However, some grips might change the properties of all other objects in a drawing with the same style as the selected object. Other grips do not change the selected object at all, but are used to change the grip-editing mode of the object.
| Grip Type and Default Color | Function |
|---|---|
| Object (Cyan) | changes a property of a selected object |
| Style (Magenta) | changes a property of a selected object and all other objects with the same style in the current drawing |
| Auxiliary (Gray) | does not change any property of any object |
You can change the color of these grips on the AEC Editor tab in the Options dialog box which is accessed from the application menu.
