You can change the layer, thickness, linetype, color, and linetype scale of one or more entities. Depending on the type of entity or entities you select, you can also change other properties, such as the start point and endpoint of lines, the center point and radius of circles, and the vertices of polylines.
You can modify all the properties of all entities simultaneously. For example, using the entprop command, select all entities on a particular layer, and then move the entities to another layer by simply selecting a name from the Layer text box. Addition-ally, using the select command and the Select by Properties option, select all blue entities and change their color to green.
In the Entity Properties dialog box and Properties Window, changes that you make in the Layer, Thickness, Linetype, Color, and Entity Linetype Scale fields affect all selected entities. If you select several entities that all have different properties, the default value initially is Varies. Changes that you make in the entity tabs, such as Circle, Line, and Arc, affect all selected entities of that type. You can select the entities to be changed using any entity-selection method.
