[arriscad] Changing RI Color

[Gary Thill]

    Rich,

    The nature of RI's is that they can either be created using a pen 
and color value set to 'none' so they will inherit
    the current pen and color value. Or they can be 'hard-coded' by 
setting a specific pen and color when they are
    drawn so that they will ignore the current pen and color values. Or 
a combination of  the two.

    The advantage to assigning a pen and color to an RI is that you 
never have to worry about setting the correct
    values again. They are simply a permanent part of the RI. In this 
case, they cannot be changed unless the RI
    is 'frozen' (or 'exploded to use and AutoCAD term). Once frozen, 
correct pen and color values can then be
    assigned. If you were to recreate (i.e. REMAKE) the modified RI at 
that point and give it the same RI
    name and store it in the same RI library, it would overwrite the 
master copy. Then all previously placed RI's
    of the same name would be immediately updated to the new pen and 
color as well.

    Hope this helps.
