Replacing Colours and Textures in Drawings

1. First, make sure one of the palettes in your scene already has a swatch containing the colour or texture you want to replace the original colour with—see About Colour Swatches, About the Edit Gradient and Texture Tool,Adding a Texture Colour Swatch and Adding a Pencil Line Texture.

2. In the Timeline, Xsheet or Node view, select the drawing or drawing layers you wish to recolour.
NOTE: You can select multiple layers if needed.
NOTE: You can skip this step if you intend to recolour all the drawings in your scene.

3. In the Colour view, click on Show Colour Palettes if you want to replace a colour, gradient or texture, or on Show Pencil Texture Palettes if you want to replace a pencil texture. You can also click on Show All Palettes .

4. In the Colour view, select the colour or texture swatch you want to replace by doing one of the following:

• Select the palette in which the colour or texture swatch is located, then select the swatch you wish to replace.
• If the drawing in the Camera or Drawing view contains the colour or texture you want to replace, select the Dropper tool in the Tools toolbar, then click on that colour or texture in the drawing. The Colour view will automatically select that colour or texture's palette as well as that colour or texture's swatch.

5. Do one of the following:

• Right-click on the swatches list, then select Recolour Drawings.
• Open the Colour view menu , then select Colours > Recolour Drawings.

The Recolour Drawings dialog appears.

6. In the Replace Colour In panel, select whether you want to replace the selected colour in the Current Drawing, in All drawings in the selected layers or in All drawings in the scene.

7. In the palette list in the Replacement Colour panel, select the palette that contains the colour or texture swatch you want to replace the original colour or texture with.

8. In the swatches list, select the colour or texture swatch you want to replace the original colour or texture with.

9. Click OK.

A dialog displays showing the progress of the recolour operation. When finished, the original colour or texture is replaced with the replacement colour or texture in your drawing.
