About Matching Style and Display Properties

You can match the style and object display properties between AutoCAD MEP 2022 toolset objects of the same type. For MEP objects of different types you can match basic AutoCAD properties. Likewise, you can match basic AutoCAD properties between an AutoCAD entity and an AEC object.

When you match properties between some style-based MEP objects, both the style properties and the display properties of the selected source object are applied to one or more selected destination objects. For non-style-based objects and most style-based objects, only display properties are matched. In either case, the display properties are applied to all display representations of the destination object.

Overrides

When you use the match properties feature, any style or object overrides in effect for the source object are applied to all display representations of the destination object. Overrides currently in effect for the destination object will be removed if they conflict with corresponding settings for the source object. If you want to change a setting for a particular display property in a particular display representation, the recommended method is to use the Display tab of the Properties palette. For more information, see Modifying Display Settings During Design.
