method
Change what property (Color / LAyer/ LType

If you select several objects with different values for the property you want to change, varies is displayed as the current value.
Changes the color of the selected objects.
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 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.
Changes the linetype scale factor of the selected objects.
New linetype scale <current>: Specify a scale or press ENTER
Changes a 2D object's Z direction thickness.
New thickness <current>: Enter a distance or press ENTER
Changing the thickness of a 3D polyline, dimension, or floating viewport object has no effect.
Related Commands: The CHANGE command changes elevation as well as other properties and requires that the UCS be aligned with the object to change. CHPROP, DDCHPROP, and DDMODIFY do not have this restriction. Use other commands (-LAYER or LAYER, -LINETYPE or LINETYPE, LTSCALE, COLOR, and ELEV) to set the properties of new objects. You can both view and edit a selected object's properties with the Object Properties Toolbar.
