Hi guys, I have no knowledge of macros nor programming habilities. That said.  I find my self usign the "Overwrite by element/halftone" a lot for all sorts of elements. I was wondering if someone has/knows how could I make a macro/shortcut in order to speed up the process...thanks

Hi,

would you say these elements are in the same catagory? i.e. Chairs & Tables, typically Furniture?

If that is the case you could create a view template with that catagory set to halftone?

Alternatively you could use a trans material on those elements?

Just throwing it out there before you resort to code, 4th.

Perhaps those elements should be in a different workset and use Template VG settings to 1/2 tone that workset of view filters.

you can set up a shortcut for Halftone by Element in the Keyboard shortcuts dialog.
