List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Object Type Displays the type of object that is selected.
Toggle Value of PICKADD Sysvar Turns the PICKADD system variable on
(1) and off (0). When PICKADD is on, each object selected, either individually
or by windowing, is added to the current selection set. When PICKADD is off,
selected objects replace the current selection set.
Select Objects Selects desired objects using any selection method. The
properties common to the selected objects are displayed in the Properties
palette. You can then modify the properties of the selected objects in the
Properties palette, or you can make other changes to the selected objects by
entering an editing command.
Quick Select Displays the
Quick Select dialog box . Use Quick Select to create
selection sets based on filtering criteria.
Shortcut Menu
The following shortcut menu options are available when you right-click the
title bar.
Move Displays a four-headed arrow cursor that you can use to move the
palette. The palette does not dock.
Size Displays a four-headed arrow cursor that you can use to drag an edge or
a corner to make the palette smaller or larger.
Close Closes the Properties palette.
Allow Docking Toggles the ability to dock or anchor palette windows. If this
option is selected, a window can be docked when you drag it over a docking
area at the side of a drawing. A docked window adheres to the side of the
application window and causes the drawing area to be resized. Selecting this
option also makes Anchor Right and Anchor Left available.
Anchor Right/ Anchor Left Attaches the Properties palette to an anchor tab
base at the right or left side of the drawing area. The palette rolls open and
closed as the cursor moves across it. When an anchored palette is open, its
content overlaps the drawing area. An anchored palette cannot be set to stay
open.
Auto-hide Causes a floating palette to roll open and closed as the cursor
moves across it. When this option is cleared, the palette stays open.
Transparency Displays the
Transparency dialog box on page 888.
