Properties always display Properties: Object first?

This might be dumb, but I couldn’t find a fix and it’s been driving me batty for years.

I keep the Properties window open at all times. When I select an object, I would like the Object parameters to display no matter the object type. Objects like dimensions, hatches, dots, text, whatever else have other parameter groups that sometimes, not always, display when initially selected, and I want to avoid this.

Where is the option to make this happen?

Thanks

There isn’t one as far as I know. This also drives me nuts sometimes. There are indeed times when I do want to edit the text or the hatch pattern or whatever, but most of the time I just want to quickly see what layer it’s on or what color properties it has…

Exactly. 100%.

Please let there be a way!

So @brian, what do you say? Is there a YouTrack for this? Is it one of those whose number is less than 1000 :smile: ?

Chiming in again. I’m going to guess somewhere in the 50000s.

Bugs are not necessarily fixed in the numerical order of the bug tracker…

I think most of us are painfully aware of that! :smiley:
