Entity Properties

Objects used in the ideCAD thickness, height, color, hatching, font, surface texture, etc. they have qualities. Objects get these attributes from their respective object settings.

If the object setting dialogs are entered and no changes are made, the existing settings in the ideCAD are used for newly drawn objects. If the ideCAD is run for the first time, these settings are the default settings of the program.
