    Is there a way to override all the strokes in a project? A client of mine just decided they want thicker strokes on all shape layers in the 11th hour. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    You can make a script with an array of layers, then apply a condition, if stroke = X, then apply the stroke you want to all of them.

    Sara – it depends, whether you have grouped shapes inside the layers, which has stroke & not at all in the same layer.

    If such condition is true, then looking for a scripting solution will be the fastest approach, in case if there are many layers.

    Alternatively, in case if all shapes has strokes, you can select all ‘Shapes label’/comp, and change all in the comp instantly. This only applies if you haven’t changed label colors for different shape layers, during the process.
