AutoCAD Architecture :: Modify Line Type / Weight - Change Color?

How can I modify the line type/weight? How can I change the color?  Where are my object properties?

I have seen a few threads with variations of these questions.  I had the same ones, until now.  I did some serious messing around and came up with this, I thought it may be useful:

To get the AutoCAD 2012 "Properties" panel in ACA 2012:

Disclaimer:  This procedure involves modifying your software's configuration file(s).  If you choose to follow it, you do so at your own risk.

1.   Open the "Customize User Interface" dialog by a familiar method (I like the keyboard, the command is "CUI").
2.   Switch to the "Transfer" tab.
a. If you can't see it, expand the dialog to 2-columns by clicking the ">" button in the lower right corner. 

3.  Set the left-hand column to "acad.cuix", I'll call this the "source file".
a.  If you can not see the file, click the "Open" button and navigate to your "Application Data" folder.

i.  Win7:  {userProfile}AppDataRoaming
ii. WinXP:  {userProfile}Application Data

b. Navigate further to the Autodesk Support folder:

i. {Application Data}AutodeskACA 2012enuSupport

4.   Set the right-hand column to "Main Customization File", or another customization file you intend to use, the "destination file".
5.   Expand both files' "Ribbon->Panels" nodes.
6.   Locate the "Home - Properties" panel in the source file.
7.   Right-click the panel and select "Copy" from the context menu.
8.   Right-click the destination file's "Panels" node and select "Paste" from the context menu, it will be added to the end of the panel list.

a.  NOTE: You may get a warning that the panel already exists. If you do, click the "Rename" button.  The new panel will most likely show up as "Copy Of Home - Properties" 
b.  Right-Click the new panel and select "Rename".  Set the name to "Home - ACADProperties"

9.   Click the destination file's "Save" button.
10. Switch back to the dialog's "Customize" tab.
11. Using the drop-down, select your destination file as the file to customize.
12. Expand the (a) "Ribbon -> Tabs -> Home-ACA"  and (b) "Ribbon -> Panels" nodes in the "Customizations…" (top-left) section.
13. Select the "Ribbon -> Panels -> Home-ACADProperties" panel, a preview will appear and the "Properties" section will populate.
14. Edit the panel's "Display Text" property, change it to "Properties"  (this is the name that will appear on the panel once it's added to the UI).
15. Right-click the "Home-ACADProperties" panel in the "Customizations…" section and select "Copy" from the context menu.
16. Right-click the "Ribbon -> Tabs -> Home-ACA" node and select "Paste" from the context menu.
17. Click the "Save" button.
18. Click the "OK" button.
19. Observe your UI, the new Properties panel will appear at the right end of the "Home" tab.
20. Drag the panel to the location you would like it.

a.  NOTE: Adding this panel to the tab causes the other panels to resize so the ribbon fits the screen/UI width.  If there are any panels that you aren't using, turn them off to allow more room for the other panels.  (I turned off the "Transparency" panel, the new "Properties" panel includes those commands in the slide-out, making it redundant.)

b.  To turn a panel off, right-click a panel title, select Show Panels, then uncheck any panel you don't want displayed.

Now, my ribbon looks like this:
