When you create a EDE view for abstract item types such as loads or converting electrical equipment, as opposed to specific item types such as motors or transformers, the software displays all the common properties for these item types in the EDE. With loads, for example motors and heaters both appear, but the software cannot display their specific properties in one common EDE view. However, when you select items of the same specific type, all the properties appear in the Properties window.
