Pen Management > Disable (Manage Menu)

This command can be used to disable pens by identifying objects that are using the desired pens. To disable a pen means to set the attributes "Lock", "Ignore" and "Shade Down", i.e. the pen will be displayed in a gray color, objects assigned to it can usually not be chosen and will not be considered during snap point detection. In addition, the attribute "Output" is cleared, so this pen will neither be printed nor copied to the clipboard.

Choose the objects whose assigned pens are to be altered. Click on objects to choose them, including objects using locked pens.

After identifying the objects, their pen assignment is determined and all affected pens are disabled.

This command is not available if pens are switched to passive.
