General and Symbol Tabs
The General tab in the Properties Dialog Box lists the selection’s name, symbol name, reference designator, and so on. These are generally not editable. The information is identical to that on the General tab of the Property Window.
The Symbol tab provides information on the location of the component symbol in the schematic. The information is identical to that on the Symbol tab of the Properties Window.
When the Properties dialog box is opened for a design (Design Properties), both the General and Symbol tabs are initially empty.
