Provides a quick and convenient way of setting some basic properties of a selected object or group of objects, or for setting the default properties of a group of drawing tools. If the Property toolbar is not visible, you can display it using the View / Toolbars window.
If no objects are currently selected, the settings on the Property toolbar apply to the active drawing tool. For example, if you activate a Line tool and then change the settings on the Property toolbar, the settings will apply to all objects drawn with any Line tool.
If there are objects selected, settings in the Property toolbar apply to the selected objects.
