As you create objects, AutoCAD LT uses default settings for the color, layer, linetype, and other properties. You can specify these properties before you create a series of objects or change them afterwards.
All objects in AutoCAD LT are drawn on layers. Objects can be made visible or invisible by turning their layers on and off. You can either associate the color and linetype properties of objects with their layer, or you can set color and linetype explicitly for each object. You are not limited to the linetypes that are included with AutoCAD LT; you can easily create and save new linetypes.
The properties assigned to objects are easily verified, and you can copy properties from one object to other objects.
You can control how some objects are displayed. Certain kinds of objects, including text, hatches, and wide polylines, can be displayed in a simplified form for faster display and for check plots. For objects that overlap one another, you can control the order in which they are displayed.
