Description:

The Properties function has many different faces and changes depending on the

object or objects you may have selected.


The following is an explanation of all the different ways you might see and

use Properties. You may or may not have all the functions shown, it depends

on what level you have purchased. This function is one of the most

dynamic and changing functions within the software. The best thing to

remember is that this software and all of its levels is an object based software.

Each piece or pieces of a design is considered an object and the properties

(depending on the level purchased) can be changed or modified.
