List of Options

The following options are displayed.

Basic Properties

Color

Changes the color of the destination object to that of the source object. Available for all objects.

Layer

Changes the layer of the destination object to that of the source object. Available for all objects.

Linetype

Changes the linetype of the destination object to that of the source object. Available for all objects except attributes, hatches, multiline text, points, and viewports.

Linetype Scale

Changes the linetype scale factor of the destination object to that of the source object. Available for all objects except attributes, hatches, multiline text, points, and viewports.

Lineweight

Changes the lineweight of the destination object to that of the source object. Available for all objects.

Transparency

Changes the transparency of the of the destination object to that of the source object. Available for all objects.

Thickness

Changes the thickness of the destination object to that of the source object. Available only for arcs, attributes, circles, lines, points, 2D polylines, regions, and text.

Plot Style

Changes the plot style of the destination object to that of the source object. If you are working in color-dependent plot style mode (PSTYLEPOLICY is set to 1), this option is unavailable. Available for all objects, except those with the Jitter edge modifier applied.

Special Properties

These properties are in addition to the basic properties. They apply properties that are specific to the following types of objects.

Dimension

In addition to basic object properties, changes the dimension style and annotative properties of the destination object to that of the source object. Available only for dimension, leader, and tolerance objects.

Polyline

In addition to basic object properties, changes the width and linetype generation properties of the destination polyline to those of the source polyline. The fit/smooth property and the elevation of the source polyline are not transferred to the destination polyline. If the source polyline has variable width, the width property is not transferred to the destination polyline.

Material

(Not available for AutoCAD LT)

In addition to basic object properties, changes the material applied to the object. If the source object does not have a material assigned and the destination object does, the material is removed from the destination object.

Text

In addition to basic object properties, changes the text style and annotative properties of the destination object to that of the source object. Available only for single-line and multiline text objects.

Viewport

In addition to basic object properties, changes the following properties of the destination paper space viewport to match those of the source viewport: on/off, display locking, standard or custom scale, shade plot, snap, grid, and UCS icon visibility and location.

The following viewport settings are not transferred:
  • Clipping
  • Freeze/thaw layer states
  • UCS per viewport (not applicable to AutoCAD LT)
Multileader

In addition to basic object properties, changes the multileader style and annotative properties of the destination object to that of the source object. Available only for multileader objects.

Hatch

In addition to basic object properties, changes the hatch properties (including its annotative properties) of the destination object to that of the source object. To match the hatch origin, use Inherit Properties in HATCH or HATCHEDIT. Available only for hatch objects.

Table

In addition to basic object properties, changes the table style of the destination object to that of the source object. Available only for table objects.

Center object - Center Mark and Centerline objects

In addition to basic object properties, changes geometric properties such as extension lengths of the destination object to that of the source object. Available only for center mark and centerline objects.
