AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Edit Object Properties

Oct 4, 2013

My Acad experience is very old-school, and I have been away from true Autocad for a number of years.

I have been attempting to edit the properties of objects in the block editor and ran into a problem.

+ I select an object.
+ Right-click and choose Properties.
+ A list of properties is displayed, but they are not for the object I am trying to edit.

I did a test by selecting the object and using the command prompt, used the CHPROP command to change the objects color. It did change color as expected.

However, when I used the right-click/properties method, the properties shown do not show the new color. So, I suspect that my right-click/properties method is not showing me the object's properties.  But, rather the default properties when any new objects are created.

So, obviously right-clicking is not the way to get there.  What am I missing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Can't Edit Section View Properties

Dec 6, 2011

In my idw, when I right-click on my section view line (or the section view itself), I want to change the section depth from full to some distance.  Problem is there is not a "Edit Section Properties" in the context menu. 

There are other section views on this sheet and they will display "Edit Section Properties" in the context menu.

Any clues as to why I dont get a context menu on just this one section view?  I could delete the view and redimension everything, but I had rather not.... Its got several dims on it.

Cant post the file either... its pretty large.?The idw itself is 16mb, not counting all the parts/assemblies.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Edit Multiple Attributes Properties?

Apr 20, 2011

Is there any way to edit multiple attribute properties, NOT using battman? While battman will chnage every att-block within the drawing, I'm looking for a way to change the text size of one specific line of text within an attribute, and ONLY change it in a certain few within the drawing. It'd be nice if I can select those specific blocks and change the properties in the properties manager, but it's not an option.

Nov 18, 2013

I am running Architecture 2014 (PrDS-U) on a Windows8 Pro N.

In Architecture I am a frequent user of the Project Navigator.

After moving to W8, I find that I can not edit Project properties, neither from Project Browser nor the Navigator.

Others who are connected to the share can edit the project, they are running Windows 7. I cannot.

Aug 5, 2011

I created a pipe network using Civil 3D 2011 and we upgraded to 2012 in the middle of the process.

I've always been able to edit the MATERIAL of the pipe for (I like to add class and type in this column)

It worked fine in 2011 as you can see in the first image.

But in 2012, the material changes that I added in 2011 chow up, but I can't edit them or revise them.

it causes me to have to label my pipes in the label editor instead of assigning the material property in the pipe properties with-in my pipe network.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Properties Of Parcel In Information And Description?

Sep 25, 2013

I have tried to edit the Properies of Parcel in Information and Description by using the following 2 methods:

Method #1: I started with Settings in Toolspace => work on Parcel Style and Label Style for setting up the desired data I want to input. Then I went to Prospector in Toolspace => Sites => Site 1 => Parcels => Property : 1 for editing the desired data.

Method #2: On the drawing area, I selected the created Parcel object by clicking on the Property : 1 to get the Properties tab. Then I edited the Information - Style, Parcel Area Label Style, Name. I went to Prospector => Sites => Site 1 => Parcels => Property : 1 => Information - Descrition for adding the desired data.

My questions:

Q1.  Did Method #2 change any thing in the Settings in Toolspace?

Q2.  What is advantage in each Method?

Q3. In the Settings for Method #1, I saw the following items:

Parcel

User-Pefined Property Classifications

Parcel Styles

Label Styles

Table Styles

Commands

What are User-Defined Property Classifications, Table Styles, and Commends for?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Edit Field Properties Default Width Of Value Column

Aug 9, 2012

When editing the properties for the title block on each sheet of my drawing, I've become rather annoyed with the default column width of the Value column.  It always opens to the same width no matter how many times I change it.  Every time I edit something in the title block, I have to resize this column to see everything I'm editing.

Any way to change the default width it opens at?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: How To Edit Or At Least Read Properties / Params Of Old Bevel Object

Sep 2, 2011

In CorelDRAW 12 I created a design with a few bevel effects on simple polygons. I now have CorelDRAW X5 and need to make some minor adjustments to these bevels.

But I can't seem to bring upp the bevel properties anyway and of course canät edit them either.

How can I at least SEE what properties/params were used for those bevels?

It's OK if I can't edit them (even if that would be preferable). As long as I can get to see the properties that were used, I can remove the old ones and create new ones with the same properties (with the required adjustments).

I note that in the object manager, the old bevels appear as "Bevel group" (but in Swedish), while new bevels appear as "Bevel", and the little icon in the object tree is different. The old ones have an icon that would seem better suited for an extrude.

Searching the forum, I found the following

AutoCAD Architecture :: Properties For AEC Objects Not Displaying In Properties Palette?

A user showed me today that she cannot see any properties for a wall, door, or other AEC object in the Properties palette.

Some options like height, width, etc. are shown, but not layer, style, etc. from the General portion of the Basic tab.

Is this going to be a reinstall scenario or is there a fix for this?
