Managing Drawings with Layers and Properties
When you start adding objects to your drawings, all the different types of objects can get cumbersome to manage. Managing these objects and sorting them into different categories not only speeds up your drawing workflow but can also make it easier for you to find the required objects when they are needed. So, this chapter is all about managing drawings using layers and learning how to assign different properties to our objects to sort them properly. We will also learn how to check the properties of objects, such as their area, length, and radius, which is essential to any drawing workflow. By the end of this chapter, you will be well equipped with the tools and commands required to effectively assign and manage the properties of objects.
The following are the topics we are going to discuss in this chapter:
- Managing object properties
- Using Match Properties
- Using inquiry commands
- Drawing management using layers
