Modifying Object Command Properties Using the Properties Window

The Command tab in the Properties window displays information about an action selected in the history tree that was performed either to create an object, such as the Draw > Box command, or to modify an object, such as the Edit > Duplicate > Mirror command.

Not all command properties can be modified. The command properties you can typically modify include the numeric values, such as position values (base position, normal position, start position, etc.), size values (height, radius, etc.), and various other coordinate values. You can also modify many of the unit settings for a command property.

1. In the history tree, select the command for which you want to edit its properties.
Tip: Press and hold Ctrl to select multiple commands. If you select multiple commands, only the common, or shared, properties are displayed under the Command tab.
2. Under the Command tab in the Properties window, edit the command's properties.

Depending on the property type, you can edit it by doing one of the following:

• Select the check box to apply the property; clear the check box to disable the property.
• Click in the field and edit the numeric values or text, and then press Enter.
• Click the button and then edit the current settings in the window or dialog box that appears.
• Click the attribute, and then select a new setting from the menu that appears.
