Multi select for Properties

Danboy24
Hi

How do I change the properties of multiple items at the same time? The 'window' option doesn't seem to be available and I can't pre select all the items I require, then edit them. If I do this the Properties menu doesn't appear.

The only way I've found this works is if I select an individual line (entity) then select Properties. This is extremely time consuming as a circle for example is made up of hundreds of individual lines

I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this :-)

"Attributes" is the tool for this. Tools - Modify - Attributes.
Select the entities first, also by window, then activate the command, or trigger the command first and then select the entities and close theselection with "Enter".

A circle normally is a single entity. If it is made up of a multitude of individual lines the drawing probably is from a different source. Maybe a vectorized scan?

That's great, thanks Dellus. The drawing I'm working on was converted from a PDF so probably accounts for its non standard behaviour
