The Properties panel works on behalf of the currently selected object or objects in the active document or another of the Editor's panels. If a single object is selected, the panel will display the object's properties and their values. If multiple objects are selected, the panel will display those properties that are common to all of the objects. In such cases, common values will also be displayed.
Although the descriptions in this section relate to the Editor's main property grid, some of the Editor's dialogue windows also make use of property grids and they all operate in the same way.
The Properties panel is shown by selecting
View → Properties from the menu bar or by clicking the Properties button in the
Standard toolbar.
