Like

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

The LIKE command allows you to retrieve entity properties (layer, color, line style, fill style, dimension style) to create the next entity you will draw. The properties captured by the LIKE command are only active for the drawing command that immediately follows.

You select the like command by selecting the LIKE icon without selecting a CHANGE command first.

For instance, if you wished to draw a new line that had the same properties as an existing entity (but different from your current settings), type LIKE at the command line, select the existing entity, then invoke the LINE command. The new line will ignore your current settings and draw with the same properties as the line you previously selected. Since the LIKE command only works for one command, the next line you draw will use your current settings.

You can permenantly change properties for all new entities by using Keep command

Note: LIKE is also used as a modifier. When used in this context, it behaves as described in LIKE modifier.
