Listing Entity Information

Use the GetProperties command to view details of an entity, including the entity's type, Layer, LineColor, LineStyle, LineWeight, mode (model or sheet), its coordinates, and other details depending on its type. For example, GetProperties lists added details about an Arc include its center point, radius, and start and end angle. Added details about a Line include its length, angle in the XY-plane, delta-X, delta-Y, and delta-Z lengths.

  1. Click Tools > Inquiry > Get Properties (or type GetProperties).

    The geometric details and properties of the entities display in a separate command history window.
