AutoCAD LT for MAC - properties tool - settings

[earthsquare]

Hi all,

AutoCAD LT - Mac > Properties Tool Box (Cntrl+5)

 I 'customise My Properties' and include the set of properties i need.
I have to repeat this process in each drawing.

Is there anyway in which I can customise My properties for all the drawings at once.

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this on my side in 2016 and in 2017 versions.
Can you describe in more details your workflow with customizing "My properties" section?

Hi, 
In the 'All' tab in the properties editor -ALL THE PROPERTIES ARE LISTED. Which I do not want.
So in the 'My' tab > edit > I choose the properties which I want to edit often.
When i close the >edit> then the selected properties are listed in the 'My' tab of Properties editor.

So far so good PERFECT.

The PROBLEM is that I have to repeat the process for all the drawings.

On my side all settings for "my" properties remain for all drawings opened in one AutoCAD instance (session).
I also noticed that if I open each drawing in new AutoCAD session (which I start with "New AutoCAD session" from the context menu in Dock, than I have to set "My" properties in each AutoCAD session separately.
The settings for "My" tab remains from those AutoCAD session which was closed last.

I agree with Maxim. It has to stick on any new drawings that you open for that session. Can you try resetting to factory default and see if it starts to work again,

Hope it helps. let me know if the issue persists.

Hi,

Thats the same with me.
I would have preferred the settings on 'My' Tab to remain the same for all auto cad sessions.

> One workaround would be to never close an AutoCAD session, but then thats not the solution.

Hi Vinod,

Before I attempt the 'reset' option, which I am reluctant since I have to set all the custom colours I had done, may I ask you this.

Does AutoCAD LT 2017 Mac have the option of seeing the "My" properties for all the AutoCAD sessions or does the settings work only for that session.

Hi,

If you need to have specific "My" properties in all AutoCAD sessions, than close all AutoCAD instances, launch AutoCAD, make customisations to "My" properties, quit AutoCAD.
From now "My" properties will be the same in all AutoCAD sessions.

Another thing - if you need to change the set of "My" properties quite often....

Maxim,

Thanks.
Kudos and Hugs.

This makes working in AutoCad a lot more easier for me.
