About Matching Part Properties

You assign various part properties to AutoCAD MEP 2023 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 2023 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.
