Tool Palettes | 23
To change the icon display style in the Tool Palettes window
1 Right-click the blank area of the Tool Palettes window, and then click View
Options on the displayed menu.
2 In the View Options dialog box, click the icon display option that you
want to set. You can also change the size of the icons.

Control Tool Properties
You can change the insertion properties or pattern properties of any tool on
a tool palette. For example, you can change the insertion scale of a block or
the angle of a hatch pattern.
To change these tool properties, right-click a tool and click Properties on the
shortcut menu. Then you change the tool’s properties in the Tool Properties
dialog box. The Tool Properties dialog box has two categories of properties—
the Insert or Pattern properties category, and the General properties category.
■ Insert or Pattern properties. Control object-specific properties such as
scale, rotation, and angle.
■ General properties. Override the current drawing property settings such
as layer, color, and linetype.
