To change the elevation

Changing the elevation of two-dimensional entity changes its position on the z-axis. To change the elevation of a two-dimensional entity, all points on the entity must have the same elevation.

Choose Elevation.

To change the layer

Choose LAyer.

New layer <0>: Enter the name of the layer with which you want the entities associated.

To change the linetype

Choose LType.

New linetype <CONTINUOUS>: Enter the name of a new linetype.

If the linetype you enter is not already loaded, the program tries to load the linetype from icad.lin. If the program cannot locate the linetype in this file, use the Linetype command to load the linetype file.

To change the linetype scale

Choose ltScale.

New linetype scale <1.0000>: To accept 1.0000, the default, press Enter, or enter a new linetype scale.

To change the thickness

Changing the thickness of a two-dimensional entity changes the entity's z-direction thickness. You cannot change the thickness of a three-dimensional polyline, dimension entity, or floating viewport entity.

Choose Thickness.

New thickness <0.0000>: Enter a new thickness.
