Match Properties

The Match Properties button copies the selected properties of the selected entity and applies them to one or more other entities.

Quick Access Panel:

Ribbon: Viewer -> CAD Image -> Layers or Editor -> Draw -> Layers

Menu: CAD Files -> Layers

 

It is possible to match the following properties: color, layer, linetype, linetype scale, lineweight, hatch pattern. When copying text properties additional properties are added: text style, rotation, width factor, obliquing.

By default all the available properties are selected for copying. For some properties not to be copied, uncheck the corresponding fields in the dialog box "Select Properties". The dialog box is called via the context menu after specifying the initial object.
