Specify how the properties of a select set are displayed:
-
Select Show Select Set to display the common properties of a set of items subsequently selected.
-
Select Show Single Item to display the properties of a single item among a set of items subsequently selected. Note that if you select multiple items by holding down the CTRL key, the software displays the select set properties even if this option is selected.
-
-
The properties that are subsequently displayed in the window belong to the chosen item or the select set. For the select set, only properties that all items have in common appear, and only common values are displayed for those properties. Consequently, empty property values for a select set do not necessarily mean that no value has been assigned for any of the items in the set, only that either no value has been assigned or that the different items have different values for the property.
-
Whenever you have constructed a select set, you can choose single items from that set by using the Selected Items list at the top of the Properties window. A single item chosen in a select set this way is highlighted in a different color in the Drawing view.
