The AutoCAD MATCHPROP command copies properties such as layer, color, linetype, linetype scale, lineweight and transparency from a source object to one or more destination objects. Start it with MATCHPROP or the alias MA. On the ribbon it appears as a paintbrush icon.
Besides general properties, it can also match special properties between objects of the same type, such as text style, dimension style, hatch pattern, polyline width, tables and multileaders. Use the Settings option to choose which properties are copied.
How to use it
- Type MATCHPROP or MA and press Enter.
- Select the source object.
- Select the destination objects one by one or with a window.
- Press Enter to finish.

Notes and tips
- To move objects to another layer only, leave just Layer checked in Settings.
- Special properties such as text, dimension and hatch settings transfer only between objects of the same type.
