|
|
To open this window :
|
1 . Select multiple types of objects. Right-click ( Menu ) and choose " Edit/Review " on the context menu . Or invoke Edit/Review using some other method. |
|
2 . The Multi Items Edit window opens. The window has multiple tabs on it, one tab for each type of object that was in the selection made in step 1. |
General instructions :
Tabs appear for a particular type of object only if an object of that type is being edited.
The contents of fields with mixed entries are gray-- if you edit such a field, your entry applies to all objects of that same type and to all objects of other types which that same field is common to.
For example, if you select arcs, welds and clouds, then change the " Pen color " under the " Arcs " tab to yellow (3), all arcs, welds and clouds in your selection will change to yellow when you press " OK ."
