Dialog call:You have opened a project and either opened or created a symbol in the symbol editor (Utilities > Master data > Symbol > ...). Edit > Placed properties.
In this dialog you select a property placement (for example for connection point designation, connection point description, DT, function text, etc.) and specify its position, direction and format.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
In the drop-down list, different predefined assignment configurations are offered for selection. These configurations are stored on the symbol with their names. Edit > Property arrangements allows you to create own property arrangements.
This list shows the already placed properties for the symbol. If you have selected a property, you can edit its display properties in the right side of the dialog.
Popup menu:
The popup menu provides - depending on the field type (date, integer, multilingual, etc.) - the following menu items:
If you have selected a property, you can edit its display properties in the table in the right-hand section of the dialog. The hierarchy levels Format, Text box, Alignment box, Value / unit, and Position are available for this purpose. These can be opened by clicking the 
symbol. Concerning the display properties, the settings described in the following section are available.
Since general devices are cross-reference-capable, that is, can be managed as main and auxiliary functions, then besides the option of specifying this type of cross-reference (Symbol / function data tab), there is also this drop-down list available for the display of the contact image.
- None: No contact image is displayed.
- In path: The contact image – depending on the selected plot frame – is displayed below or right on the page in the schematic path of the component.
- On component: The contact image is displayed next to the component.
If you have selected one of the entries In path or On component from the list, go to [...] to open the Contact image position dialog where you can specify the location where the contact image should be displayed on the page.
Note:
Properties cannot be placed on connection symbols (angles, T-nodes, double junctions) and existing property placements will be removed when you save / close the symbol editor. This applies especially to connecting points that automatically possess a property placement (namely, the connection point description / designation).
