Hide object properties

[Muhammed.OPERA]

Hi everyone 

Is there anything (Code) can hide the object properties like the attached pic.

muhammed,

To clarify, are you asking for code that will NOT show object properties when you have SELECTED an object?

If you mean you want to close the Properties palette without going to all the trouble of picking on the white X at its upper left corner, there's a [reverse-of-PROPERTIES] PROPERTIESCLOSE command that will do it for you.

[Muhammed.OPERA]

Hi @CodeDing Yup that's exactly what i want.

Hi @Kent1Cooper

Sorry u misunderstand-ed me. 

I need the program to hide the properties of exact objects like the pic, although the object is selected, the program can't identify it's properties.

muhammed,

Maybe you should explain your situation further. To elaborate..

- If you are trying to avoid seeing the properties by using the default cursor and selecting an object, then I cannot help.

- If you are selecting an object through LISP then why not use (entsel) as this will not display properties.

- If you are trying to avoid seeing properties while running a code, I would use the PROPERTIES and PROPERTIESCLOSE commands in your code, as @Kent1Cooper stated.

- If you NEVER want to see your properties box, you can (not recommended) change the definition of the "Properties" command in your CUI.

*-* PERHAPS there is a way with LISP to temporarily change/disable the definition within CUI of the "Properties" command. But again, probably not recommended.

If you could explain what you are wanting this for, MANY people on this site are bound to find you perhaps an alternate solution to your problem.

Best,

There is no way to hide some/all properties of the selected object(s), other than by closing the Properties palette.

But the puzzling question is, why would you want to do that?

Hi @ActivistInvestor @CodeDing @Kent1Cooper

Have you tried the AutoRebar,

all objects drawn by autorebar have no properties in the properties palette when i select them, unless you explode them.

I wanna know how this is achievable?!! I wonder about that!

I imagine it's because that's an overlay program on top of  AutoCAD [no, I haven't tried it, since I don't have it], and what it draws are not native AutoCAD drawing entities.  I can't think of a way to achieve a show-no-properties state in the Properties palette for ordinary AutoCAD entities, other than closing  the Properties palette as has already been suggested.

But I concur with @ActivistInvestor's question in Post 7.

The objects created by AutoRebar must be custom objects that are either not properly-implemented or have bugs, because if they were properly-implemented and had no bugs, they would show at least the common entity properties (e.g., Layer, Color, Linetype, etc.), if nothing else.

Hi @ActivistInvestor @Kent1Cooper @CodeDing

Please see that attached file:

You will understand what i mean if you select the drawn object and show the properties.

Thanks

There is only one object in the dwg file you posted a link to, and it is a POLYLINE with some XData attached to it.

When I select it, the Properties palette shows everything that it normally shows for any polyline.

Have you tried opening the file without the Auto-Rebar application loaded?

Hi @ActivistInvestor 

you are right, i didn't observe that.

Thanks alooooooooot.

Do you know how to do such thing if ther's any tutorial it will be so useful?

By "to do such thing" do you mean to be able to select an object, and have it highlighted and its grips turned on, but have the Properties palette say "No selection" as in the image in Post 1?  If so, it's beyond me to imagine how, in regular AutoCAD, other than [as already noted] the "workaround" -- to simply close the Properties palette.

Hi @Kent1Cooper

Yes, i meant to be able to select an object, and have it highlighted and its grips turned on, but have the Properties palette say "No selection" as in the image in Post 1

As I mentioned above, there is no way to do that.
