Like

On the Tools menu click Snaps to select Like, or press F2

The LIKE modifier allows you to select or retrieve entities based on the common features (layer, color, style or dimension style) of an existing entity. LIKE, unique to the other modifiers, can be used to enhance the editing commands by referring to properties (not points) of entities

There is also LIKE button on the Change Properties dialog box.

For example, to change the color of selected entities to be the same color as a next-picked entity:

1. Right click Change Properties then click Change Color to select the entities whose color you wish to modify.

2. After selecting DO IT, the prompt reads "New color:".

3. Press F2.

4. The prompt reads "Like entity:"

5. Select an entity that has the desired color.

6. All selected entities will now have the desired color.

Note: Unlike other modifiers LIKE can also be used outside of other commands. When used in this context, it behaves as described in LIKE command.

Text equivalent: LIKE (or press function key F2)
