Editing Component Properties

You can edit component properties using any of the following methods:

• Properties window — Click a component to select it. The Properties window displays the properties of the selected component on a series of tabs where they may be edited.
• Properties dialog box — Right-click a component and select Properties. In addition to the tabs available on the Properties window, the Properties dialog box also contains a Property Displays tab, which can be used to control the display of properties as text labels on the schematic.
  Note:

  • If you select multiple components, only those properties common to all selected components are shown in the Properties window or dialog box. Changes made to any of these common properties will affect all selected components. For example, you can use this feature to select and deactivate several components simultaneously.
  • Select the Show Hidden check box to view hidden properties of the component. Hidden properties contain system-defined values and rules for interpreting predefined component parameters. Modifying hidden properties requires specialized knowledge of the component, and is not needed for normal operation.
• In-place editing — Double-click a property that is displayed near the component to start an in-place edit of the property value. You can also move the property text box by dragging it to the desired location.
