How to change color of multiple curves simultanously?

[cmer]

When I select multiple curves, I am unable to change the color for all of them simultanously. What could cause this and how do I fix it? See screenshot.

Thanks!

Select multiple objects/curves, and simultaneously change color in Colour or Swatches panel, change line width in Stroke panel, change brush type in Brushes panel, ... 

[cmer]

Of course... easy! Thanks a lot. still n00b.

it's old, but still, as psendas answer is useless, you have to select all the curves and then press "p" to go into curve-edit mode. Then you can set the colors for all curves, back or foreground

if there's rectangles or similar in your selection, either convert them to curves or press "u" instead of "p" to go into rectangle-ellipse-etc-edit mode.

Pšenda’s answer clearly wasn’t useless, since the OP responded with the words

Some users are just weird 🙂

Why would you do that - just have Move Tool selected as well as OP.

I did not know there were various modes, such as Curve Edit, and rectangle-ellipse-ect Edit modes. Pressing P (unless changed by the user) selects the Pen tool. Pressing U does nothing. I'm not sure what that shortcut is too.

I assume oliiix must be using different software to the rest of us! 😄

That's why my answer was useless, now it's understandable :-)

Maybe oliiix is using APhoto where shortcut 'U' is the shape tools.
But that does not at all explain why your Move Tool hint would not work / why the Pen Tool would be required.

Interestingly, I tested in ADesigner that it works in all tools except Vector Brush Tool. It even works in Zoom, View, Transparent and Artboard Tool, which I didn't even expect :-) Of course I didn't try other applications - why too, the question concerns AD.

Your Move Tool hint also works in APhoto, and several other tools, too. – So it's up to @oliiix to explain what was meant by "useless" ... and why especially the Pen Tool would be needed to apply a colour to multiple curve objects.

I would still understand if he wrote that my answer is useless for him/for his situation, because is apparently differs from OP (some other application, some other tool?), but that it is useless in general? Well, he probably knows why they claim it.

The way he types and the username makes me think his native tongue is not English, so, words can get a little mixed or not appropriately applied, maybe he didn't mean useless as that word does come across a little harsh and I doubt that's what he meant.

 One needn't have selected all the curve layers, an easier/quicker solution would have been to simply select the group layer and adjust the colours of all the curves in the group, this would also affect groups with groups. There is a hierarchy and depending upon which group you select determines which group is affected.
