If no objects are selected in the Properties palette, what is displayed?

  1. No properties are shown

  2. General drawing properties are shown

  3. Only layer properties are displayed

  4. Details of the last selected object

The correct answer is: General drawing properties are shown

When no objects are selected in the Properties palette, the palette defaults to displaying general drawing properties rather than showing properties specific to any selected objects. This includes attributes that pertain to the overall drawing rather than individual elements. In this context, general drawing properties may encompass various aspects such as the current drawing scale, units, or layout information. This functionality allows users to quickly access key information regarding the drawing or layout environment without needing to select any specific elements first. This behavior is designed to assist users in managing their drawings efficiently, as it maintains a level of context about the overall project without requiring an active selection.
