control the display of the general properties for the selected object type, or
by clicking the General button at the bottom of the Objects pane you can
override the general properties of all object types.
When the General button at the bottom of the Objects pane is clicked, a list
of the general properties that can be used to override the general properties
of all object types is displayed along with the Reset Overrides button. Selecting
the general properties that you want to display for all object types and clicking
Reset Overrides applies the selected general properties to all listed object types
in the Objects pane. However, after applying a general property to all object
types you can deselect any general property for a specific object type by
selecting the object type and deselecting the property.
Display the Quick Properties Palette
By default, the Quick Properties palette is displayed when an object is
double-clicked, and that object type is enabled in the Customize User Interface
(CUI) editor for Quick Properties. The Quick Properties palette is also displayed
when objects are selected, if the object type of the selected objects is enabled
for Quick Properties, if the QPMODE system variable is set to 1 or 2, and if
the PICKFIRST system variable is set to 1 (on).
The QUICKPROPERTIES command displays the Quick Properties palette for
any objects that are selected, regardless of other settings.
See Display and Change the Properties of Objects in the User’s Guide for more
information about controlling the display of the Quick Properties.
NOTE When the system variable QPMODE is set to a value of 1, the general
properties that are checked are displayed in the Quick Properties palette for all
object types that are not in the list on the Objects pane.
To control which object types are used with the Quick Properties palette
1 Click Manage tab ➤ Customization panel ➤ User Interface.
2 In the Customize User Interface Editor, Customize tab, in the
Customizations In <file name> pane, select Quick Properties.
