Description This command is used to change the shape and/or layer for selected objects in the current document.

Use After launching the command, the cursor will change to a square and you will be prompted to select objects to include in the change. Simply position the cursor over an existing object that you wish to include in the selection and click. Clicking away from an object allows you to drag a selection area, for including multiple objects in the selection. Selection is cumulative.

Continue adding objects to the selection and then right-click when all required objects have been selected. The Modify/Change dialog appears. Use the dialog to change the shape (aperture) used for the objects and/or the layer that they are drawn on. Leave a field blank in order for no change to take place.

After setting the options for the change as required click OK - the selected objects will be updated according to the defined modifications.

Continue selecting further objects to change or right-click or press ESC to exit.

Notes With respect to modifying the shape of the selected objects, you can either select an aperture associated to an existing DCode, or create your own, new shape. In the case of the latter, you must select an available shape from the associated drop-down list and specify a size.

With respect to modifying the layer for the selected objects, you can either select an existing, defined layer from the associated drop-down list, or choose New Layer, whereby a new layer with a default name will be created. The name of this new layer can be changed by right-clicking on the layer entry in the layers list of the CAMtastic panel and choosing Rename from the resulting pop-up menu.
