You can modify, delete, or add new properties; however, changes that are made to such a list of properties will be applied to all objects, not to only one. Common properties for objects can be created in two ways: 1 You can select two or more objects that you want to assign common properties to. •   Double-click in the Object Properties palette •   In the Define Properties palette, you will be able to add, delete, or modify the properties. Click OK to accept your changes. Each of the selected objects, excluding the properties that are specific only to it, will also have the common properties that we have just defined. 2 You can select an object which has already defined properties. •   Copy and paste the object into the same document. •   The pasted object will inherit the same list of properties as the original object. The Define Properties palette in the above example shows the common properties of the two selected objects.
