Viewing object properties in the Property Panel

The Property Panel shows the properties of graphic objects and the values assigned to the
properties. It also shows the tags or expressions assigned to an object’s connections.

Use the Property Panel to modify the properties of graphic objects, and to assign tags and
expressions. You can select multiple objects, and then make changes to the common
properties of all of the objects at the same time.

Click the + icon to view
the objects and grouped
objects within a group.

When you right-click an
object in the Object
Explorer, the object’s
shortcut menu opens,
as it does when you right-
click the object in the
graphic display.
