This dialog box allows you to change the properties of each object in the group, the overlapping order of objects within the group, and group-specific attributes.

Objects

This tab shows the list of all objects included in the group. The list shows the order in which objects overlap within the group.

Perform the following operations:

  1. Double-click on the object name. The object properties dialog box opens.

To change the attributes of objects

Perform the following operations:

  1. Select the object from the list.

  2. Choose the Attributes command. The object's attributes dialog box opens.

To change the order in which objects overlap

Perform the following operations:

  1. Select the object to be moved from the list.

  2. Choose the Move up command to bring the object up one position or the Move down command to bring the object down one position.

To define or change the parameters of the group

Perform the following operations:

Parameters

This tab lists the parameters that have been defined for the group. The parameters make it easy to set the properties common to the objects in the group. For example, if the group contains multiple line objects you can define a parameter for the pen style of these lines so that changing the value of the parameter will update the style of all lines. This tab appears only if parameters have been defined.

Attributes

This tab lists all the internal attributes associated with the symbol. Internal attributes have a name and value and can be used to associate information to objects. For example: the internal code, the price etc. See Dialog box: Attributes.
