Menus > Edit Menu > Properties

This Edit menu command displays the Properties dialog box and allows you to change a variety of properties of a single selected object.

The keyboard shortcut for Properties is Alt+? (Windows) or ? (Mac).

There are two other ways to view an object’s properties.

•	Use the Context menu. In Windows, right-click the object. On a Mac, hold down the Ctrl key while you click the object. The Properties command appears in the resulting Context menu (directly under your mouse if possible).

•	Use the Information tool. Click the tool on the object, and then click the object’s name in the balloon that appears.

The Properties dialog box can include these panels:

Panel	Objects
Object	All objects
Label	All objects that can show labels
Value	Measurements, calculations, and parameters
Parameter	Parameters
Table	Tables
