Editing objects and attributes using the object properties sheet

Use the object properties sheet to edit attributes, or to change the value of an attribute for more than one object.

1. In the module window, select the object or objects whose attributes you want to edit, and then right-click Properties.
   You can also apply your changes to all the objects in the current view.
2. You can edit the Object Heading, Object Text, and Object Short Text attributes on the General tab. To see a complete list of attributes, and to edit them, select the Attributes tab.
   A list of all the attributes that apply to objects is displayed, along with the values they have for the current object. Read-only is displayed to the left of attributes you cannot edit.
3. To view or edit an attribute, select it, and then click View/Edit.
4. To change the value of the attribute, make sure that Inherit is cleared, and enter the new value.
   Text or String attributes can include URLs. URLs with the following protocols display as links:

   • http://
   • https://
   • ftp://
   • file://
5. Specify the objects that you want to apply the changes to by selecting either Current object, Selected objects, or Objects in current view.
6. Use the Add checked values, and Remove unchecked values fields to control updates to multi-valued enumerated attributes for multiple objects.
   To update multi-valued enumerated attributes, select the option or options that you want.

   • Clear Add checked values to leave the individual values of the selected attributes unchanged.
   • Clear Remove unchecked values to leave the individual values of attributes that are not selected unchanged.

   Clearing an option means that the values that are either selected or cleared are not updated.
7. Click OK.
