    How can I change the entities of multiple objects.
    For instance, if I have drawn a number of different lines in the drawing and then decide that I want to change the width of ALL the lines to the same width. How can I do this without having to edit each line. Ideally I'd be able to simply click on each line to update the width.

    Yes, that changes one entity at a time. But I want to be able to change ALL line widths, for example, with just by setting the general thickness parameter and just clicking (once) on each object. Otherwise I have to go in and change the parameter manually for each entity. Quite cumbersome.

    The Edit Entities dialog will change all selected entities. If more than
    one entity is selected an icon for the dialog box will appear in the edit
    menu.
    It's really nice to use for moving entities to different layers. IE you can
    move an object to a hidden layer with out making that layer current. I put
    an icon in a custom menu so I can get it without right clicking or going
    through the Edit menu.

    If you want to select all lines to change them you can use Edit Select
    Modify Selection Qualifier Type Line to select all the the lines. Once
    selected, alt click lets you change them all.
