      I haven't used text update in awhile, and recently attempted to use select all leaders and screen text. Then update. Is there a bug? This used to work for me. Is there a new way of changing color of text globally?

        This obvious way isn't working (BUT it should - 'hint to SUp guys')...
        However, IF you select all of the text in question, then you can 'paint' it with the desired color using the material-filler-bucket tool, and it WILL take that material...

            Hey lapx and TIG,

            My model has a lot of text in it. So I opened the Model Info dialog box > text > Select all Leader text (button), then clicked on the paint chip selected a new color and clicked on Update Selected Text. That changed the color of the text in my model. Is that what you say is not working?

            Please let me know.

            Thank you.

              v 6.4.112 PC: Change the global text colour doesn't work like it used to...
              You can select 'all' text, AND you can change the colour setting BUT it don't 'stick'. The only way with this latest version is to select all of the text then use the material paint-bucket to re-colour the selection...

              It needs fixing.
