Multisim line color

In Multisim is there a global way to force the color of all existing lines to be the default color?
Can the colors of all elements be forced to the defaults?
I have inherited a design that has had specific colors assigned to traces, and the schematic is a mess! I can select each individual trace and change the color in the Properties dialog, however, there is no "Default" color option. So once a trace color has been changed it can't be "unchanged" back to the default.
Lines that are the default color automatically change when the background changes. However, if a different color scheme is selected, say switching from a white background to a black background, all lines that have been assigned the color black disappear. Likewise, white lines on a black background disappear when the background is changed to white.
This is very annoying, especially so since one of the first things you learn in programming is to be sure that you don't create pictures of polar bears in a snowstorm! This is an especially stupid Stupid Programmer Trick!
I have also noticed that you cannot assign a global color scheme to all sheets of a design, but you have to change them one at a time. This is another Stupid Programmer Trick.

Sorry, but it doesn't.
When I open the spreadsheet window there is no "Nets" tab, just "Results" and "Simulation" tabs.
Even if I had the full version of Multisim that does have the "Nets" tab, this would not actually solve the problem. If I made all of the lines black and then switched to a black backgroud all lines would disappear.
The problem is a bug in the program. It should never allow lines, components, text - anything - to disappear when the background color is changed. NEVER!
This should be obvious to anyone, and it is one of the first things taught in introductory programming. Looks like the Multisim programmers slept through that lecture. If a programmer did something like that at our company the bozo would be given a broom and put to work doing something he was qualified for.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it looks like I will have to search through every page and every line to change the color of each on individually.
So far I have found Multisim and Ultiboard pretty easy to work with, but the almost total absence of global editing capabilities puts it near the bottom of the list of the dozen or so PC design packages I have used.

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

Whenever I try to shift+direct select it thinks I want to move the line, so as I shift + direct select and drag my mouse across the line (to highlight it all) it moves a chunk of the line and turns it into a near perpendicular line.
I found the appearance window, it just says "Path" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Stroke" 4pt
"Fill" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Opacity": Default
And some other buttons. I think I'll try the help line tomorrow, I know I saw a customer service number somewhere and I'm only here because the chat was unavailable. This is only one of my 3 problems with my assignment so I'll search here for answers to the other two. Learning new things is rarely fun.

Changing line color on XY plot

This should be something really simple. I simple created a property node, set the active plot, and set the plot.color. What happens to some plots is the points change to my specified color and other stays as my background plot color which is white. I cant seem to get the line color to change with the point color. There are ways I can change it at run time, by right click on the plot and going into properties and setting line color in that tab.
What am I doing that I cant get this to work at runtime?
I attached the plot, just ignore all the missing VIs you should be able to see the problem.

It works just fine here using LabVIEW 7.1. Could you do us a favor and make a mini demo, just containing the xy graph, some data for it, and the related property nodes to demonstrate your problem.
Overall comment on your VI:
Sorry, but I am absolutely horrified by your code. I cannot believe that you need all those property nodes, especially the signaling ones, they should be used very sparingly. (For example the FOR loops on top center and in the event called "clear all points" are just pumping hot air, repeating the same action and signaling (!!) every iteration.) It also just cannot be healthy if a single event calls tons of signaling properties, such as in the above mentioned event case. Then, in the timeout event, you are rewriting the plot la
bels and names every 10 ms. Do they really change that often???
Please let us help you in your overall program design. It will make a big difference in your future, more complex projects if certain common desing misconceptions are not propagated. I think entire sections of your program can be deleted without loss in functionality, the code can be stripped to <20% and the CPU usage can be reduce to <2% of the current situation. Just my wild guess.
The above is well meaning criticism, so don't take it personal. I am much harsher looking at my own early code from 8 years ago. :-) Good luck!

How can I change line colors in HTML reports?

I have a VI that is creating an HTML report based on a table of results. I change the back ground color of the line based on failed results. However this line color change is not seen in the HTML reports. Can anyone give me a good way of basically transferring the properties of my table to the HTML report? Is it possible? Thanks in advance for any help.

Greg - Thanks for the reply. I figured this out doing some more research. The line that I needed was "<BACKLOG="#PAYOFF">Your Cell Text</ID>. The problem I was having was that line is needed in front of the rest of the font formatting commands. For example here is my original line:
<ID WIDTH="200"><BACKLOG="#PAYOFF"><FONT SIZE=+0 COLOR="#OFF">8.3.12.1</ID>
The bold part in the line above is what I added. With the cell color added like this it actually created another cell and pushed existing ones one cell to the right. It then colored the second cell in the row and left the first one blank. Through looking up more examples I found that I was actually putting the cell color command in the middle of the font formatting command. So I tried putting it at the end and it then did nothing. The only way I could get the cell in the table to change and not change anything else was using the syntax below.
<ID BACKLOG="#PAYOFF"><WIDTH="200"><FONT SIZE=+0 COLOR="#OFF">8.3.12.1</ID>

If you are using CS6 (or CC for that matter) there is the excellent free GuideGuide extension panel. Both would be helpful if you use a lot of guides.

How to change series or line color in excel 2007 using ActiveX

I am trying to change series color using Excel 2007 with ActiveX as below. It seems the color cannot be controlled correctly. For example, if I chosse red color, my curve will be changed to blue. Any ideas?
Also, I googled and found a guy ran into similiar problem using VBA for Excel 2007. See the link below:

objSeries.Border.Color = RGB(255, 127, 0) . But I cannot find the border property/method in ActiveX.
The color seems to be abitrary. and I found the

Xubuli,
I looked into your question and confirmed that Border.Color is not located under the Excel.Series library. Instead, you must locate it under _Worksheet.UsedRange as seen below in the figure. I am attaching the VI file where I located the the Border.Color property node, and I am also including a SubVI on the block diagram that goes into explicitly set the cell color and border. This SubVI can be found under Programming>>Report Generation>>Excel Specific>>Excel Format>>Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi, if you have the Report Generation Toolkit installed. I hope this helps.

g2.draw(new Rectangle2D.Double(50, 50, 200,100));
what I need to implement is two colors interleave on the dash line.
so that dash line looks like this:

Hi Danilo,
I think you can use color box contants in a case structure, each case sent one color constat, so you can select colors when you select a case on case structure.

Well that is part of the story but the picture input tunnel should be changed to a SR if you wnat more than one plot.
