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.
