change solid line into dotted line with a single click

[andrewere]

Is there a way of changing a solid line into a dotted line with a single click?

I'm making a technical drawing that has many elements and there are lots of solid lines that need to be dotted lines.

So far I've been using the shift key to multi-select and then going back and forth to the stroke panel to select the dotted line option, which takes ages.

I can't select them as a group as there are so many elements that I don't want to change.

I've looked in the help section and the search function but found nothing.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can use styles to assign defined strokes or fills.

Then, you can use color tags for layers to allow easy selection of multiple objects.

Hard to say without knowing what's in your document but these 2 Designer options may help in what you want to do 

Select > Select Same...
Select > Select Object...
