The “dumpallproperties” is an easy way to list all the properties of an entity using Lisp. Unfortunately, this does not work when used in the script file along with AccoreConsole. A simple way to workaround this and display the entity properties in AccoreConsole, is to create a CRX plugin that uses the Non-COM property system to display the entity properties.
If you are new to the Non-COM property system, please refer to this blog post : DevTV : Non-COM Property System
The code in this blog post uses portions of the code from that DevTV in a CRX application. Here is the relevant code and the complete sample project can be downloaded here :

Here is a sample script file to load the crx and invoke “EntProps” command.
(arxload “D:\Temp\CrxTest1.crx”)
EntProps
4C4 ;; Handle of the entity for which properties are to be displayed
