Property Panel

How do I open the Property Panel?
By default, it shows on the right side when you open the
Graphics
editor. If it is not shown, in the
Graphics
editor, do one of the following:
  • From the menu, click
    View
     >
    Property Panel
    .
  • On the toolbar, click the
    Show/Hide Property Panel
     icon.
  • On a display, right-click an object and select
    Property Panel
    .
If you select more than one object in the display, the property panel displays those properties that are common to the selected objects, and instead of an object name, the words
Multiple Selections
 are displayed, instead of the object's name, below the title bar.
In the
Property Panel
 you can modify the property values of graphic objects, and, for some graphic objects, create connections between tags and properties to animate the object. For third-party ActiveX objects, what you see will depend on what was supplied by the provider of the object.
The
Property Panel
 has a
Properties
 tab and a
Connections
 tab.
  • The
    Properties
    tab shows the properties for the selected graphic object.
  • The
    Connections
    tab provides a way to link a tag to a property for certain objects.
You can press
F1
 or click the
?
 button below the Property Panel's title bar to display help for the property that is currently highlighted. If no help is available for the selected object, a message informing you of that is displayed.
You can click the
Help
button at the bottom of the property panel to view general help on how to use the
Property Panel
.
