Note
The easiest method to work with the
PROPERTIES
palette is, if there is no space
in the drawing area to maintain its visibility, to apply
Ctrl
+
1
to turn it on or off.
Ctrl
+
1
actually calls the
PROPERTIES
or the
PROPERTIESCLOSE
commands,
depending on the palette visibility.
The QUICKPROPERTIES command
The
QUICKPROPERTIES
command (alias
QP
) also displays a properties palette, but
one that is condensed to the most important parameters and near the object. For
most objects, this is the command displayed when double-clicking over that object.
Another way to apply the
Quick Properties
palette is to turn on the
QP
|
Quick
Properties
button on the Status bar (or press
Ctrl
+
Shift
+
P
). With this mode activ-
ated, it is enough to select an object, without command, and the palette is immedi-
ately displayed.
Note
It is possible to configure which parameters are displayed for each object type,
by accessing the
CUI
command and the
Quick Properties
item. A shortcut is
to press the top-right button
Customize
on the palette and we are driven to the
proper
Quick Properties
object.
