Command line: change |
Select objects: Use an object selection
method
Properties / Change point:
Specify a new point (1), enter p, or press ENTER
The UCS must be aligned with the object you want to change.
If you select lines and other changeable objects in the same selection set, you get varying results depending upon the object selection sequence. Selecting lines only in a selection set, or selecting objects other than lines in a selection set, is the easiest way to use CHANGE.
Modifies the properties of existing objects. Use -LAYER or LAYER, -LINETYPE or LINETYPE, COLOR, or ELEV to specify the current drawing properties.
Change what property (Color / Elev / LAyer / LType / LtScale / Thickness)? Enter an option
If you select several objects with different values for the property you want to change, Varies is displayed as the current value.You can change several properties. AutoCAD LT redisplays the Change What Property prompt after each option is completed.
New color <current>: Enter
a color name or number (1-255), enter bylayer or byblock,
or press ENTER
For example, to change a color to red, enter red or 1.
If you enter bylayer, the object assumes the color of the
layer on which it is located. If you enter byblock, the
object inherits the color of the block of which it is a component.
New elevation <current>: Enter a numeric value
You can change the elevation of an object only if all its points
have the same Z value.
New layer <current>: Enter a layer name or press ENTER
New linetype <current>: Enter a linetype name or press ENTER
If the linetype you enter is not loaded, AutoCAD LT tries to load it from the standard linetype library file, aclt.lin. If this procedure fails, use the LINETYPE command to load the linetype.
New linetype scale <current>: Specify a scale or press ENTER
New thickness <current>: Enter a distance or press ENTER
Changing the thickness of a 3D polyline, dimension, or floating viewport object has no effect.
When you specify a new endpoint for a line or a group of lines,
the endpoints of the selected lines closest to the Change Point
move to the new point unless Ortho mode is on. If Ortho mode is
on, AutoCAD LT modifies the selected lines so that they become
parallel to either the X or the Y axis, rather than
moving their endpoints to the specified coordinate.
AutoCAD LT displays different prompts depending on the objects you selected.
Changes the text and text properties of an attribute.
Enter text insertion point: Specify a point or press ENTER
Specifying a new location repositions the text. Pressing ENTER leaves the text at its original position.
Text style: <current>
New style or ENTER for no change: Enter a name or press
ENTER
If the text has a fixed height, AutoCAD LT skips the next prompt.
New height <current>:
Specify a height or press ENTER
New rotation angle <current>: Specify an angle
or press ENTER
New text <current>: Enter text or press ENTER
New tag <current>: Enter a tag or press ENTER
New prompt <current>: Enter a prompt or press
ENTER
New default value <current>: Enter the value or
press ENTER
Changes the location or rotation of a block.
Enter block insertion point: Specify a point (1) or press ENTER
Specifying a new location repositions the block. Pressing ENTER leaves the block in its original position.
New rotation angle <current>: Enter an angle or press ENTER
AutoCAD LT rotates the block about its insertion point to the specified angle.
Changes the circle radius.
Enter circle radius: Specify the new radius or press ENTER
If more than one circle was selected, AutoCAD LT moves on to the next circle and repeats the prompt.
Changes text content and properties.
Enter text insertion point: Specify a point or press ENTER
Specifying a new location repositions the text. Pressing ENTER leaves the text in its original position.
Text style: <current>
New style or ENTER for no change: Enter a name or press
ENTER
If the text has a fixed height, AutoCAD LT skips the next prompt.
New height <current> :
Specify a height or press ENTER
New rotation angle <current> : Specify an angle
or press ENTER
New text <:current>: Enter text or press ENTER
AutoCAD LT highlights the next object and displays the prompts relating to it.
Related Commands: CHPROP, DDCHPROP, and DDMODIFY change the properties of existing objects but do not require that the UCS be aligned with the object you want to change. They cannot be used to change the elevation of an object. PAINTER copies the properties of one object to one or more objects. You can both view and change the properties of selected objects with the Object Properties Toolbar.
