Let’s say I want to change everything with the color of 0xff0000 (red) to, say, 0xffff00 (yellow). Or I want to move all straight connectors to the background.
Is there a way to automagically do this kind of thing?
If you have created styles for your objects then changing the style for all those objects is a simple change. In the image below all the red circles have the style Marker so changing the style will change the objects.
I find the easiest way to keep track of objects is to name them. If you apply a style to the first object and name it, then copy it to different places, all will have the same style and the name will be sequentially numbered for all the copies. You can select all the objects by name in Navigator with Shift+click or Ctrl+Click but if they are separated in the list, it might not be so easy.
Grouping objects and naming the group is a way to manage disparate objects that are related somehow.
This can be done by selecting in Navigator and cutting and pasting but the connectors will no longer be connected to the objects and won’t move with the objects, even if pasted back on the same layer. You will need to reattach the connectors
