Is there a way to over ride the default colour when placing an entity.
eg.
Level default colour set to blue
I want to draw a new line (anywhere)
I select the draw vertical line but rather than it coming in blue I want it white (sure I can change it after it's in)
Is there a way to do this?

Hi,
in CAD it is common that the color is governed by the layer setting.

One can give any entity in selection a distinct color in the property editor.

One could engange the 'Pen' widget and set a default color for new entities.

@ KHE,

launch the Toolbar "Pen" to control an overwrite of an active Layer,
(you can find it below Menu / View ...)
In your case:
Layer "blue" = active,
launch the vertical line tool,
change the attributes in Toolbar "Pen" to the desired one (color White).
Place the line ... done.

Solved, Thank you. Have a great day.
