object type is added to the Objects pane, you can then decide which properties

to display when on object of that type is selected in the drawing window.

You can change the general properties for a selected object type or for all

object types. Selecting an object type from the Objects pane allows you to

control the display of the general properties for the selected object type, or

by clicking the General button at the bottom of the Objects pane you can

override the general properties of all object types.

When the General button at the bottom of the Objects pane is clicked, a list

of the general properties that can be used to override the general properties

of all object types is displayed along with the Reset Overrides button. Selecting

the general properties that you want to display for all object types and clicking

Reset Overrides applies the selected general properties to all listed object types

in the Objects pane. However, after applying a general property to all object

types you can deselect any general property for a specific object type by

selecting the object type and deselecting the property.

display of the Quick Properties.
