Properties
To display the properties of objects, on the Home tab, in the Display group, click Property Grid to display the Properties window.
If no object is selected, the properties of the drawing sheet or template displays.
If a single object is selected, the object type displays in the drop-down list at the top of the window, and the window displays the object’s properties.
If multiple objects are selected, the drop-down list at the top of the window initially displays All (number of selected objects) and the window displays only properties common to the selected objects.
The drop-down list displays each type of object selected. If more than one object type is currently selected, the number of each object type displays in brackets.
If an object type is selected from the drop-down list, the properties associated with the object type display, or common properties if more than one of that object type is currently selected.
