Edit a base object

Editing a base object on a global object display in the
Global Objects
folder is essentially the same as editing an object on a standard display in the
Displays
 folder. The only differences are that certain options are not available on the
Graphics
menus, such as ActiveX Control on the
Objects
 menu, because these items are not supported in global object displays.
To edit base objects, you can open the global object display that contains them in the
Global Objects
folder, the same way as you open any graphic display.
You can also open a global object display from a standard display via a reference object.
To edit a base object from a reference object
  1. Right-click the reference object on a standard display.
  2. On the reference object's
    Context
     menu, click
    Edit Base Object
    .
    This opens the global object display containing the base object and selects the base object.
    TIP:
    • If you change an object's Name property or you delete a base object, this will break the links between the base object and any reference objects on standard displays that refer to it.
    • If a base object within a grouped base object is deleted, the corresponding reference object in the grouped reference object will be deleted, but the link to the grouped reference object will not be treated as broken.
    • The
      Display Settings
       (
      Properties
       and
      Behavior
      tabs) behave the same way for global objects displays as they do for standard graphic displays. They are not carried over to standard displays with the global objects.
