Control the Properties of Objects

You can organize objects in your drawing and control how they are displayed
and plotted by changing their properties, which include layer, linetype, color,
lineweight, transparency, and plot style.

Work with Object Properties

You can change the object properties in your drawing by using the Properties
Inspector palette.

Overview of Object Properties

Every object you draw has properties. Some properties are general and apply to
most objects; for example, layer, color, linetype, transparency, and plot style.
Other properties are object-specific; for example, the properties of a circle include
radius and area, and the properties of a line include length and angle.
Most general properties can be assigned to an object by layer or can be assigned
to an object directly.
When a property is set to the value BYLAYER, the object is assigned the same
value as the layer on which it is drawn.
For example, if a line drawn on layer 0 is assigned the color BYLAYER, and
layer 0 is assigned the color Red, the line is red.
