Change width of multiple lines in 2d line chart, all at once

Anyone knows how to do that? I have 20 lines on the same graph, they come very thick by default. I want to make them all thinner at the same time, but it seems I can only do it one by one, which is annoying.

The way of changing one by one is this:

But I need to do with multiple lines at the same time.

Also, the colours repeat for different fields, which looks like a limitation of Numbers?

Thanks!

Hi ivgon,

Shift click or command click to select all the lines

Then change the thickness of them all at once in Format Panel > Style tab > Connection Line

"Also, the colours repeat for different fields, which looks like a limitation of Numbers?"

Colours do repeat through a limited range, but you can recolour them individually in the Style tab.

Save as Template to use for other data.

Regards,

Ian.

Awesome guys, thanks a lot! I've been a user of Microsoft Excel for years, got an iMac and I'm giving numbers a try to see if I can fully switch and avoid having to pay the yearly fee for Microsoft Office. I'll likely come back with more questions. Cheers! Ivan
