Editing the Attributes and Properties of Objects

Using Quick Editing for Object Attribute Displayed on Diagram

You can perform a quick edit of an object attribute value that displays on a diagram (for example, the object’s name). This action does not work for user-defined properties or option expressions.

Prerequisites

The attribute value must be visible on the diagram.

Procedure

Double-click the attribute value in the diagram window; an editable window containing the value displays.
Edit the value as required and press Enter; the value is updated in the diagram window.Note If pre-defined values are available for selection, an ellipsis (...) button displays next to the field. Click that button to select a value. You can expand the window to display the full Edit Properties dialog box for the object by clicking the “Click to modify attributes” button or by pressing ALT + Up Arrow. You can hit the Esc button on your keyboard to cancel the action at any time. If you want to edit the graphical display of the text, select it on the diagram and press ALT + Enter on your keyboard to display the Attribute Text dialog box.
