7.6 Modifying and saving drawing object properties
You can change the properties of the objects in the drawings such as parts, marks, bolts, and
welds, and save the object properties files for later use.
To modify and save object properties in an open drawing:
1. Open a drawing.
2. Double-click the object that you want to modify.
For example, double-click a part.
3. Change the desired settings in the property dialog box.
For example, go to the Appearance tab and change the part color.
4. In the box next to the Save as button, enter the name for the properties file and click
Save as.
5. Click Cancel to close the object properties dialog box.
Now you have a new object properties file. You can load the properties in this file in other
drawing objects, in this case, parts. You can also use the object properties files with filters to
apply detailed object level settings.
