You assign various part properties to AutoCAD MEP 2022 toolset objects to define the part in a layout. You can create a new object and match its properties with that of an existing object. Use one of the following methods to access the matching functionality in AutoCAD MEP 2022 toolset:
- From the Add command on the command line (such as CONDUITADD), select Match at the command prompt.
- Select an object, and click Add Selected on the ribbon. Select Match at the command prompt.
- Click (Match) in the Add or Modify dialogs for duct, cable tray, or MvPart.
- Select Match at the prompt on the command line when the Modify Run dialog box is displayed for pipe or conduit.
- Invoke ParallelRouting on the command line for pipe or conduit, and select Match at the command prompt.
Click an object name below to expand a list of MEP properties that can be matched.
Tip: Matching properties vary depending on the function you are performing on an object. The software displays the available options.
