Object Attributes

and Properties

In Capital, attributes and properties are distinctly different. An attribute is a quality or characteristic of an object within Capital. Object attributes are built‑in to the Capital software and particular tool behavior is inferred by their presence and value.

A property is a user-defined name / value pair assigned to an object. You can display and report properties, and use them in rules and analysis functionality.

In design applications, you can use the Properties Dialog Box to edit the attributes and properties of objects. You can select individual or multiple objects for which you want to edit attributes and properties.

Note

Any mismatches or inconsistencies of attributes and properties between instances of a library part in a design and its original library part definition are not reported by design rule checks.

See “Object Attributes and Properties” in the Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User Guide for further procedures to edit object attributes and properties.
