Assign Shape to Selected Objects

External Since: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 1

Is it possible to assign a shape to multiple objects in a drawing? For
example, I imported a CAD floorplan that has various sized rectangular
polygons defining cubicles. I would like to select those polygons and assign
(or make) them "Space" shapes from the Space Plan stencil. I am trying to
avoid the tedious task of having to place the "Space" shape over every
polygon.

You can drag and drop Space shapes on top of your objects. If the

cubicle polygons are on their own layer, you can Convert just that

layer of the inserted CAD drawing. Then you can drop Space shapes on those
polygons.

To size the Space shape to the polygon, select the Space shape and then

Ctrl+select the polygon. Then right-click and choose AutoSize.
