Object Properties

The properties of the currently selected object can be displayed in the properties panel (if open). The properties are subclassified into several groups. Some of the properties can be customized to suit the needs of the user.

Note:

If the properties panel is closed it can be (re-)opened via the main menu (View > Windows > Show properties).

General properties

This section contains general information about a selected object.

The basic property which is displayed for all objects is the Name property which determines the name of the individual object which is displayed in the Tree view panel.

The value of the Library name property is the library name of an object; this property is available only for objects placed from Library.

The Selectable check box determines whether an object can be selected by left-clicking in the working window or not.

In the Layer group box you can determine a layer on which the object is to be stored.

Note:

The content of the General section differs for the individual object types.

Display properties

These properties describe the appearance of objects within the working window. The Color, Size, Line type and Line thickness properties can be determined for the shapes of many object types.

Note:

The availability of a particular display property depends on the selected object type.

Advanced properties
