Lesson: Matching Object Properties ■ 301
Practice Exercise: Match an Object's Properties
In this practice exercise, you create several rectangles
on Layer 0. You create a new layer with specified
properties and draw some rectangles on that layer.
Then you use the Match Properties command on
selected rectangles.
1. Begin a new, blank drawing.
2. Draw several rectangles on the default Layer 0.
3. Create a new layer:
■ In the Layer Properties dialog box, create
a new layer with the following object
properties:
❏ Name: Test
❏ Color: blue
❏ Linetype: Hidden (first Load the
hidden linetype into the drawing)
❏ Lineweight: 0.35 (select Show
Lineweight in the status bar)
■ Set this layer current.
■ Exit the dialog box.
4. Draw several more rectangles. The second set
of rectangles should have the object properties
designated in the new layer settings, and the
first set of rectangles should have the default
object properties.
Note: Select Show Lineweight on the status bar
to view the new layer properties.
5. To match the properties:
■ On the Home tab, click Clipboard Panel >
Match Properties.
■ On the new layer, select one of the
rectangles (1) that you have drawn.
■ Create a crossing window as indicated
below to select the rectangles that are on
layer 0.
■ Press ENTER to exit the Match Properties
command.
6. The object properties of the rectangles should
now match.
