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.

Tip: You can also use the Design Director to quickly set the color of an object or group of objects. For single objects, see Design Director- Graphics. For groups of objects, see Design Director- Categories.

ttern:* 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.

nment:* Align the pattern so that the corners of rectangles and polygons are always solid.
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  DoubleCAD 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.

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.

igin:* By default, hatch patterns use the origin as a point of reference. If you want to modify the placement of hatches without changing their angle, you can modify the point of origin used to place the hatch. World uses the WCS, and Entity uses the lower left corner of the object being hatched. Use the Offset fields to change the reference origin.
