Match properties (the paint brush) is still present on the standard toolbar with paste, cut, ect. Is your toolbar that for these icons present? If not, then right-click an empty space in the tool bar and select this toolbar to bring into the drawing. Match properties can also be selected from the modify pull-down, or enter MA, MATCHPROP, or PAINTER at the command prompt. You didn't indicate if you ran any Autolisp programs that may effected your setting and preferances. Let me know if this helps. John
