Inherit (Inh)

Type: Interactive Application

 

Inherit allows entity properties to be copied from one existing entity to another. An existing "source" entity is first identified. The source's properties are copied to any subsequently identified "target" entities. Lines, symbols, and text are supported. Parameter settings allow for selection of the properties to be transferred. When a target entity is identified, properties are copied without verification. If a mistake is made, undo can be used to reestablish the entity to its previous state.
