Revit :: Properties Palette Has Changed
Jan 30, 2014
When I open a project or family file (new or old) the properties palette is not the one I am used to seeing. Usually one can view sheets, 3D views, and elevations in a project file and (while I have located some of these options in the tool bar) they are not located conveniently on the properties palette as usual. When I open a family file, I can usually go to different elevations and create extrusions/model from different views. There is currently no option for viewing different elevations and when I go to toggle in a 3D view I can't go back to the reference plan (the only view I can model in). Attached are images of what I currently see as my properties palette. If there is a way to get the normal one back,

Is there any way to turn on the information ,which can be obtained from schedules, on properties palette? For example, the length for the structural columns can be seen on the schedule created. However, it is not seen on the properties palette. How can I show that information on properties palette under dimensions?

Any way to get a wall sweep that's set up in the type/structure properties to follow a wall if that walls profile has changed. For example, in the image below, I've split the wall and adjusted it's profile to create some cheesy angled parapet. How do i get my wall cap to follow along? I thought splitting it and changing it's height would work, but no. And if I change the profile without splitting the wall the wall cap just runs right through the wall, as if the profiel was never even changed.

Somehow the Properties Palette has gotten less wide- such that I can't read teh actual properties. Previously I was able to make it wider just by hovering over it, clicking on an arrow and dragging it wider. Not now.

It's not just the layer that isn't being displayed in the Properties Palette. My 2014 Properties Palette isn't contextual--displays only the general info--none of the object specific information.

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?

I recently had to reinstall my AutoCAD LT 2008 and now when I open the properties palette to make adjustments to dimensions and fine tune, many peramiters that used to be visible are no longer there and accessible. I used to be able to adjust the dimscale as needed in the properties window, but can't now. How do I get it back?

X3 Materials palette has 3 different color sets/tabs
I clicked to see them and went back to the default.
Now every time I open PSP it gives the second palette (that has coloured border) and I do not want that!
Tried multiple times to select the default one and close the application -no change- opens still with the wrong one next time.

Typically when I click on the Set Origin button, all I then have to do is click on the page where I want the hatch origin to be, and everything works just fine.
I work on a shared computer. Start working this morning, and now when I click on the Set Origin button, it prompts me to inform it "SIngle or SUbobject?". And through a number of further selections, I can eventually get around to selecting my origin and having things shift around properly. But that really slows me up. Seems like one of the system variables got changed. I've doodled around a bit online, but haven't been able to find how to get things back to how they used to be.
And I tried opening a new page, restarting the program, etc., and the new way the button works has taken hold. I can't get it to reset. So on my computer (not working properly) when you click on the Set Origin button, the command line says "Command: _-hatchedit select hatch objects..select hatch objects: _S" then it says "ambiguous response, please clarify" "SIngle or SUbobject?"
On the computers that are working properly it only displays the "select hatch objects: _O" and doesn't show the _S part.

Working in AutoCAD 2013LT-my Layer Properties Manager has stopped allowing me access. When I open a drawing layers all come however I get a pop-up note that says: "ALL LAYERS ARE ALREADY INCLUDED IN THIS LAYER STATE. NO LAYERS CAN BE ADDED"
What happened-even when I try to edit layers they will not show up in the Properties Manager as changed.

Installed Map 3D 2013 this week. Have been using it with no problems for a few days.
I occasionally turn the properties palette on/off. Now I cannot get it to appear at all.

I'm working in AutoCAD Map 3D 2014, just upgraded in fact. I'm working with older drawings that had their text added by a trained chimp in simple text (Command: TEXT as near as I can figure). In updating these specification drawings, I'm making fonts the same size, updating material lists, correcting typos and just generally wiping off the banana chunks and drool.
Unfortunately, the properties palette no longer populates with all the text info like it did back in my 2010 version. In fact, the displayed values won't actually change when I select ANYTHING. Except it does go blank if I select something and then hit Ctrl 1 to get the palette.
I've hunted through Customize Palettes and Options under the Tools Menu (Map Classic workspace customized).

I am writing in the process of writing a AutoCAD/Civil3D plug-in (in VB.Net) product that needs current detects all of the updates (modified, erased , Unmodified, etc) on my own Entities and then only act on these once. So to this end I am maintaining a list of the affect entities and then processing the 'queue' on Document.CommandEnded.
This worked perfectly for me until I realized that the Properties Palette (and probably others) do not actually perform a command so the command end event is never caught. Obviously the queue will be processed on the next command but it looks sloppy that my data is not updated straight away.
I have seen various blog posts and a similar post on here that suggest using DocumentManager.DocumentLockModeWillChange or Editor.EnteringQuiescentState as the event to detect the end of the edit. However I am finding that no matter which of there I use I am unable to apply my Document Lock and this leads to Access Violations no matter what checks I do passed on the EventArgs.
I believe I have all the right Document locks in place, all in Using Statements so they should be disposed of correctly.

How can you remove or add a tab to the properties palette? I somehow have an extra Display tab on my properties palette and I can't find a way to remove it.

Possible to add custom fields to an AutoCAD object and be able to view those fields and contens in the extended data tab on the properties palette?
If it's not possible with VBA is it possible with .NET?

Question of curiosity. The Properties Palette in C3D 2012 has four tabs: Design, Display, Extended Data, and Object Class. The Design tab obviously has a lot of valuable information and allows you to edit and manipulate entities within the program. But do the other tabs really have much value?
OK, it seems that there may be times when the Extended Data tab is of use as you can associate hyperlinks, notes, and documents with an drawing object; so I can buy into that. Are there folks finding those features to be useful?
Now I don't know about the Display and Object Class tabs. Whenever I select an item, and happen to check these tabs out, there just doesn't seem to be any useful information. Perhaps I am not selecting the right types of objects. If they are not listing any valuable information, why are they so prominent instead of being buried deep somewhere. Any insight into the usefulness of the two tabs?,

AutoCAD Architecture 2009 - Something new started today!!! Working in either design or construction workspace the Properties tool bar will not operate. When I select an object and roll over to the Properties Pallette it simply starts to blink and does not open. Also, the Quick Properties panel will not open. Background, the new file I am working on was last saved on my laptop and transfered via a thumb drive. I have done this often with out a problem. However, the laptop is a new one with Windows 7 and my desktop has Windows XP.

I'm having a problem with my properties window or floating palette. When I select an object, such as a "line", my properties palette refreshes itself for about 3 seconds. When I hit esc, or deselect the line, it takes another 3 seconds to refresh itself. You can even see the properties palette start at the top and go blank as it travels downward. Very slow process, I can not get anything done. IF I close my properties palette, it does not have the delay, but I can not work without it. When I reboot, it works fine for about 5-6 selections, then jams back up.

I've created a VB.NET routine to update blocks, layers and layer filters from a source drawing.
After updating filters and when the command is finished (dialog closed), the Layer Properties Manager palette MAY not update to show the new set of filters although visually you can see that it does appear to refresh itself.
Whether it updates seems to depend on which filter is active and which filters are added.For example, I have properties filters A, B, C, D and E, and B and E have subfilters B1-B8 and E1-E9.
If Filter E3 is removed as a test and the parent filter E is active, when the command is done, E3 should appear back in the list, but it does not show until the palette is closed and reopened. If filter B is active, then the list will refresh and E3 will show immediatlely after the command exits.
I have added a dialog to my routine to inform the user they may have to close the palette and reopen to get the proper display.
I have tried Editor.UpdateScreen() but that does not work.

What setting would cause a huge, well about 5-second, delay when any entity is selected without a command active and only with the Properties Palette on-screen but autohidden? If command is given first, verb-noun, no hesitation after selecting at Select Objects: prompt. But, selecting any entity first, noun-verb, causes the 5-second delay before the mouse is again active. Very annoying. Closing the Properties Palette completely seems to cure the delay problem, but at a different cost in editing time. The workstation is running WinXP Pro with 4 gigs of ram.

One of my CAD techs is having an issue with the Layer Properties Manager Palette. When she opened AutoCAD, the palette was gone. When she tried to bring it up with "LAYERPALETTE", she gets the "unknown command" message. When she tried to bring it up using "LA" or "LAYER" or the button on the ribbon, she gets a bunch of options in the command line.
How can we get the Layer Properties Manager Palette back?

I like to have all my palettes docked, however, the Properties Palette won't stay docked after closing and reopening AutoCAD. Every time I open AutoCAD, the Properties Palette reverts to its undocked status (all other docked palettes stay put). Is there any way to remedy this? It's a pain to have to redock it every time I open the program.

Every single time I start AutoCAD 2013 my Properties Pallete's columns reset their size.
I've tried re-saving workspace to a new one. It won't work. It also doesn't matter if I open application using shortcut or by double-clicking DWG file.

as the subject states, at some point (I believe after uninstalling autodesk 360), our properties tool pallete will not populate info for the selected object. is there a fix other than re-installing from scratch? The installation fixer didn't work, and I've had to re-install twice now for other issues with the software, so it's getting very costly/time consuming to just re-install for these problems.
