Viewing Properties

Use the Properties palette to view drawing entity properties.

The Properties palette displays the entity properties including the coordinates and data that define the geometry.

• If you selected no entity, the palette displays only general entity properties (Layer, LineColor, LineScale, LineStyle, LineWeight, Transparency, and Hyperlink).
• If you selected only one entity, the palette displays only the properties of the selected entity.
• If you selected more than one entity, the palette displays those properties common to all selected entities, such as Layer, LineColor, LineScale, LineStyle, LineWeight, Transparency, and Hyperlink. If the common properties are not identical in all of the selected entities, the corresponding drop-down list or field in the palette displays <<Varies>>.
