Sets the current layer, color, style, width, and pattern. Any change you make 
on the property bar affects entities that are currently selected, and those that 
you draw in the future.

To change a setting on the property bar, click the small arrow to display the 
list of properties, and make a new selection. To apply a new setting to an 
entity, select the entity you want to change, and then click the property set-
ting on the property bar. 

Displays a message area on the left side and the coordinates dials on the right. 
The message area displays prompts, messages, and step-by-step instructions 
for most procedures.

Two dials occupy the right side of the status bar. The Absolute Coordinates 
dial (on the left side) displays the absolute location of the point (its position 
in relation to the drawing origin). The Relative Coordinates dial (on the right 
side) displays the relative location of the point (its position in relation to the 
last point entered).
