Hi, my question is more about feasibility than doing it. I read forums threads but I can't really manage to find the right answer, because Autocad is a new field to me and I can't really manage to ask the good question to Google. Employees in my company are working with Autocad 2013, with payed licenses. When right-clicking on a figure, you chose the "Properties" menu and then a rollover menu appears on the side of the screen, containing some properties. I want to know if it is possible to add some custom properties to geometric figures and see those properties in the rollover menu. I want those properties to be editable. For example, for all polylines, I want the rollover menu to display two custom properties named "MyOwnProperty1" and "MyOwnProperty2", and being able to edit those values. I don't really care if I should use AutoLisp or other technologies, right now I just want to know if there is a way to accomplish that. If you find that I don't use the good terms, words, please give me some links regarding the subject so I can improve my knowledge. Thank you for your answers.

Hi All, im hoping one of you geniuses can help me. I have created an architectural template drawing for multiple staff to use in our company. This template drawing contains numerous different blocks for different things such as windows (plans, elevations, sections). I created this template using AutoCAD LT 2012. Every block i have created works no problem on both my computer and other colleagues computers who are running different versions of CAD wether it be full version of LT, older or newer. The only issue arises with one of my colleagues who is running AutoCAD 2012 (full) When the template is opened on his computer, the options to change linear dimentions in the properties panel does not work for some strange reason. I am stumped. If anyone can shed any light on this it would be great. Thanks Pete

I just upgraded to AutoCAD 2015. There is no properties panel in my home tab, not there when I right-click, not in the cui - where did it go and how can I get it back?
