Anchor
Other categories depend on the selected object. For instance, a sphere has a Sphere category, and text objects have a Text category.

General Properties
These are properties generally not related to geometry or other physical characteristics. 
AttribAnchor
Attribute: For text and dimension objects, contains the text string. For groups, contains the group name.
HyperAnchor Xace101036 Xace101036 linkHyperlink: Specifies the location of a desired file on your hard disk or on a company's network,or specifies a URL. You can type in the field or browse your system or the web to find the desired path.
Layer: Set the object's layer by selecting from the drop-down box. See Snap Modes.
Print Styles: Select the print style you want to use when printing. See Print Style Options.
Property Value Preset: A group of properties defined for a group of tools. See Property Value Presets.

Pattern
Select a continuous line or one of many dot-and-dash patterns. If By Layer or By Block is used, the pattern will depend on the layer or block. There are several predefined line styles to choose from, or you can create your own. See Line Styles.
Dash Scale: Scale of the dot-and-dash pattern.
AligAnchor Xace96747 Xace96747 nmentAlignment: Align the pattern so that the corners of rectangles and polygons are always solid.
Color
Width: Color: Pen Color with which the object will be drawn.
Convert Color in accordance with Current Background Color: This option is designed to prevent objects from disappearing into a background of the same color (e.g. White on White) This is accomplished by inverting the display color of the object, but not the actual color setting. There are three options:
- By Drawing - color conversion will match the global setting in the Drawing Setup under Background Color
- Yes - Color conversion will occur
- No - Color conversion will not occur
Width
Scaling: Determines whether the width of the line will be scaled, or remain the same size, when you zoom in and out of the drawing.
Device: The pen's width and pattern sizes are defined in device units (the monitor or printer). If you zoom the line width and pattern size will not change on the screen.
World: The pen's width and pattern sizes are defined in by the drawing spaces units. If you zoom the line width and pattern size will change in accordance with the zoom factor.
Device Width: The pen's pattern size is defined by the drawing spaces units, and pen's width is defined in device units (the monitor or printer). If you zoom the line patterns size will change, but the pen width size will not change. Value: Pen width. A zero width uses one screen pixel, and will print at one unit of the printer's available resolution (a 300 dots-per-inch printer will print a zero width line at 1/300".)
Geometry: Used only when World is selected for the Scaling. If checked, TurboCAD creates external and internal "walls" for the object obtained by applying a thickness method to a 2D object. You can render your drawing to see the effects of this option.

Brush
...
Properties
Used to create new hatch patterns, and to also create gradient or bitmap patterns._
...
Tip: You can use the Colors and Brushes palette to view and all available brushes. See Colors and Brushes. And you can use the TC Explorer Palette to view brush patterns of all open drawings, and to apply brushes. See Drawing Settings.
...
Setting the Brush pattern for the group of Hatch tools establishes the hatch pattern that will be applied. See Hatching.
These settings are relevant for closed objects such as circles and polygons, and for flexible text. 
*PattAnchor
Color: Set the color of the brush.
Scale: Sets the scale of the hatch pattern. A scale of 2 doubles the size.
Angle: Sets the angle of the pattern.
Cro
Background Color: The color used for empty spaces in the pattern.

Gradient Fill: Relevant for gradient brush styles, which must be defined using Brush Styles (see Brush Styles). The parameters in this section are the same as the ones already set for the gradient pattern. For Fit Mode and Center Point mode, use

3D Properties
Properties relating to 3D, either for a standard 3D object such as a sphere or box, or for a 2D object made into 3D by assigning it a thickness.
