Maybe you don\u2019t even know they exist. These are all valid reasons, but as a firm believer in keeping your eyes on what you\u2019re working on, you may be missing out on a key piece of your overall efficiency by not using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s post, I\u2019ll address each of the reasons I listed, starting with the last. You may not know they exist because the icon in the status bar isn\u2019t displayed by default. So, first things first, let\u2019s make sure it\u2019s turned on. Click on the three-horizontal bar \u201ccustomize\u201d icon in the corner. Find Quick Properties, a few entries up, and click on it. Its icon will appear in the status bar, as shown below. Click it to turn it a light blue, indicating it is now enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps1.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"296\" data-lbwps-height=\"210\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"296\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps1.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Quick Properties in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14763\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customize-your-displayed-quick-properties\">Customize Your Displayed Quick Properties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The second reason I mentioned for not using Quick Properties in AutoCAD is that they don\u2019t contain the object information that\u2019s useful to you. OK. Let\u2019s fix that. You\u2019ll need to open the CUI Editor to customize your Quick Props. From the Manage tab of the Ribbon, click on CUI User Interface in the Customization panel or just type in CUI on the Command Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your CUI dialog may not look like mine in the image below. Way back in 2018 (in my fifth-ever Tuesday Tip blog), I wrote about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/blogs\/autocad\/small-controls-autocad-tuesday-tips-frank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the little things in the AutoCAD interface<\/a>. This is yet another case at that point. Draw your attention to the two small red squares. You may need to click one or both to expand the panels as shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to learn about Quick Properties is that there are two parts to the info they display. There are \u201cGeneral\u201d properties, which display for every type of object, and there are properties that apply only for a specific object. First, let\u2019s look at the steps to change the General properties displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Customize tab, click on Quick Properties in the Customize in All Files panel. The list of available objects will appear in the right side edit panel. The general properties are to the right and common to all objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding or removing an object from this list will affect all objects. Click on the Reset Overrides button to save any changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps2.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"921\" data-lbwps-height=\"985\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps2-281x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"921\" height=\"985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps2.jpg\" alt=\"Quick properties in AutoCAD CUI\" class=\"wp-image-14766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps2.jpg 921w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps2-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps2-768x821.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to the information that\u2019s useful to you. Let\u2019s say your workflow requires you to pay attention to the global width of your polylines. If that showed up, you\u2019d be more likely to use QuickProps. Click on 2D Polyline in the left panel, and all of its available properties will be added to the right side. Select Global Width, click OK to save and exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps3.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"433\" data-lbwps-height=\"651\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps3-200x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"433\" height=\"651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps3.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Global Width in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps3.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps3-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, click on a 2D Polyine to get a QuickProps palette that also displays the Global Width. You can do the same with any object type listed. Select it and make it your own by selecting other properties to display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps4.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"640\" data-lbwps-height=\"367\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps4-300x172.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps4.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Quick Properties palette\" class=\"wp-image-14772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps4-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe the object type you\u2019re interested in isn\u2019t in the default list. No worries. Let\u2019s say you use Rays and Xlines a lot. Right click in the objects panel and select Edit Object Type List. You\u2019ll get a dialog box similar to the image below. Find Ray and XLine, check them, and click OK. Now you\u2019re on your way to getting Quick Properties set up just for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps5.png\" data-lbwps-width=\"321\" data-lbwps-height=\"346\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps5-278x300.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"321\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps5.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Edit Object Type List in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps5.png 321w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/20\/QuickProps5-278x300.png 278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-but-it-s-still-in-the-way\">But It&#8217;s Still in the Way!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the image two back, where the QuickProps palette overlaps the object. We\u2019re all the way back to my first excuse for not using it: The palette gets in the way and obscures your workflow. OK, so let\u2019s customize how and where it displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to access the Quick Properties tab in the Drafting Settings dialog. You can get there by right-clicking on the QuickProps status bar icon and selecting the popup menu item. There are several controls you can choose from. The top panel will allow you to limit the display of QuickProps to only objects that have specified properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The middle area defines the location of the palette. By default, it appears 50 pixels to the top-right of your cursor location. If you\u2019re someone who selects the left side of objects by habit, it can certainly get in your way. Change it to one of the other quadrants and\/or alter the distance from your cursor (0 to 400).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other option is to use a static location. Here\u2019s the good part: you define where it displays. When in static mode, just drag the QuickProps palette to where you want it to appear, and it will always display in that location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, no matter how many object properties you have selected to display in the palette, you can specify that it displays collapsed down to the number of rows you specify. Just roll over the edge of the palette to expand it fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/24\/QuickProps6.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"652\" data-lbwps-height=\"614\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/24\/QuickProps6-300x283.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"652\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/24\/QuickProps6.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Drafting Settings in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/24\/QuickProps6.jpg 652w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/09\/24\/QuickProps6-300x283.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-that-s-all-folks\">That&#8217;s All Folks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How\u2019s that for a lot of flexibility?
