Editing the Attributes and Properties of Objects

Adding a Property

to an Object

You can add a user-defined property to an object. A property is a user-defined name/value pair assigned to an object. No use is made of the properties within Capital other than the ability to display and report them.

Properties are listed in the Properties table on the Properties tab of the Edit Properties Dialog Box for an object. They must not be confused with attributes on an object.

An attribute is a quality or characteristic of an object within Capital. Object attributes are built-in to Capital and particular tool behavior is inferred by their presence and value.

Procedure

See Editing the User-Defined Properties of an Object in the Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User Guide.
