Chapter 16 Pen & Pattern Properties
Matching Entity Properties
AutoSketch allows you to match the properties of an entity to a selection set
or to the property bar. Properties that can be matched include:
■
Layer
■
Pen color
■
Pen style
■
Pen width
■
Pattern style
The Property Painter tool is used to match the properties of one entity to
another: for instance, to make sure a polygon has the same appearance as
another polygon or is on the same layer. After selecting the entity whose
properties you want to match, simply check the check boxes for properties to
match on the edit bar then select the entity to which to apply the property
changes.
The Dropper tool is used to extract the properties of an entity and make them
current on the property bar. This can help you ensure that the properties you
want can be assigned to other entities that haven’t yet been added to the
drawing. Simply select the entity to match and pick which properties to
extract to the property bar.
To match the properties of an entity or entities to a selection set
1 Click the Property Painter button on the Standard toolbar.
2 Select the entity whose properties you want to extract (the source entity).
3 On the edit bar, check the property check boxes to apply to the target
entities.
4 Select the entities whose properties you want to change. You may have to
drag to define a region of selection. The properties of the entity are
applied.
5 (optional) Right-click once to redefine the source entity and continue
matching properties using the Property Painter.
To make an entity’s properties current on the property bar
1 Select the entity whose properties you want to extract.
2 Click the Dropper button on the property bar.
3 On the edit bar, click those properties you want to extract. The properties
are made current on the property bar.
