Object and Layer Properties

See how new object and layer tools in AutoCAD 2009 can make your dreams come true. Quick Properties

The new Quick Properties tool enables you to view and modify object properties in place, without having to go to the Properties palette. You can turn Quick Properties (QP) on or off from the status bar. After turning the feature on, simply select an object and the properties display for editing. You can control which properties are displayed for each object in the CUI (for speedy access select the Customize button in QP).

The new Quick Properties tab in the Drafting Settings dialog box provides additional control.

Layer Management

The Layer Properties Manager is now modeless so you can keep it displayed as you use other commands. That means you can dock, autohide, or anchor it just like your other tool palettes. And it is now dynamic—any changes you make in the Layer Properties Manager are instantly applied to the drawing (no more “Apply”).
