[solved] Line colour change

Post by GrowMate » Sat Aug 14, 2021 1:05 pm

Huawei MateBook X Pro (2020) Windows 10 ver 20H2 Qcad v 3.26.4.0

I change back & forth between 2 Layers States which I have labelled 'Normal' & 'Print'

In the Layer List I have to keep keep editing my dimensions to display as Dark Green in 'Normal' but if I switch to 'Print', then back to 'Normal' the dimensions invariably revert back to a light Custom green that is barely legible.

Is this a glitch in the program, or am I doing something wrong?

Switching to layer state "NORMAL" activates the layer settings stored in that layer state. To update (change) the layer state, proceed as follows:

1. Switch to layer state "NORMAL"
2. Adjust your dimension layer color and other layer settings as desired
3. Layer > Layer States > NORMAL > Update

Oh dear - sorry to have wasted your time Andrew, I should have thought that through for myself. Many thanks for your quick response.
