    Lightbulb I know it says you cant but.......

    I have a large house that I want to change all the window lites from standard mullion to Prairie mullion but window lites it is not a dynamic default. Any suggestions to save time? and wouldnt it be great if there was a way to make any attribute a dynamic default?

    Instead of changing in defaults, group select windows, open DBX, and I think you can change all in one fell swoop this way.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    I don't think dshall's suggestion will work. (I've tried.) But you can change one window, then select it and use the select similar/load for "lites type," etc. That's pretty fast.

    Ah, Richard that sounds cool. Before asking this question, I just searched every icon and menu I thought exists in CA and I would very much appreciate if you could tell me what "similar/load" means and how it works? Is that a function or tool? I can't seem to find it.
