Opens the Modify Properties dialog when you are working in the Database Tables view or the Modify Item Type Properties dialog when you are working in the Database Item Types view. Each dialog allows you to change some values for existing properties.

  • When modifying item type properties, use the Modify <Item Type> Properties dialog box accessed from the Database Item Types display to change Display Name, Category, and Permissions. Use the Modify Property dialog box on the Database Tables tab to change all other editable properties.

  • We recommend using ASCII characters for internal names of added properties. When using the Data Dictionary Manager to add a new property, you must enter an internal name and a display name. It is possible to enter non-ASCII characters for both the internal name and the display name. (For example, on a Japanese client computer, it is possible to enter Japanese characters for these two names.) This works fine as long as the plant database is always accessed from client computers that are setup with the same locale. However, if the plant database is accessed from a client computer with a different locale setting, a failure might occur. (For example, using a client computer that is setup for American English to open a drawing in a plant that has had a Japanese property added will fail.) To avoid this potential failure, we recommend that all internal names for properties added through the Data Dictionary Manager are always entered using ASCII characters.
