About Configuring Display Settings During Design

The Display tab of the Properties palette directly controls the graphical properties of objects in an AutoCAD MEP 2022 toolset drawing.

On the Display tab of the Properties palette, click (Select Components), and then click an object in the drawing area to make changes to the display properties.

General Display Properties

Component Display Properties

Click (along the General title bar) for the Apply Display Component Properties to Other Display Representations worksheet to change other display representations at the same level indicated by the Display controlled by value.

Tip: A display component must be selected for this button to appear. The corresponding worksheet will only reflect display representations that can be applied to the selected component.

Changes made on the Display tab become immediately visible in the display representation of the current drawing. You can also apply changes to other display representations. For example, you can specify whether a change you make to a display property will apply to the selected component for all objects of that type, all objects of that style, or only the selected object.
