    DXF import question Acad14

    I have some DXF files I imported and in several places there is text, Yellow in colour, I am trying to change the colour to blue.
    Initially I tried to edit text and it does not recognize it as text, so I did chprop to blue, still showed as yellow.
    I went to modify properties and it shows it as Blue, and indicates (Name) Anonymous Block.
    I have tried all kinds of ways, so far no go.
    Is there any way without re-typing it in as normal text to change this to a different colour?

    If you can post it, or send it to me I'll look at it. I haven't used 14 in a looong time. It has a properties window, doesn't it?

    Most likely you'll need to explode the block to change the color.

    Thanks gerry, that one I didn't think of, I was thrown by seeing every word & every dim. set as a block. :cheers:
