Editing an Object's

Graphical Properties

When first applied to a diagram, an object assumes the application's default graphical properties.

The Edit Object Properties dialog box, located by right-clicking the mouse cursor over an object and selecting the Properties menu option and then the Graphical tab, permits the changing of the default (or subsequent) attributes of an object.

The following Object Graphical Properties may be changed:

  • Color - the color of the object as it is displayed in the diagram.

  • Thickness - the thickness of the lines of the object in the diagram.

  • Line Style - the style of the lines of the object in the design.

  • Fill Pattern - whether a fill pattern is used in a polygon or closed object.

  • Line Style (for lines and signals in Capital Systems Modeler only) - the style of arrow at the end of a line.

  • Changing an Object's Primary or Secondary Graphical Color Property

  • Changing an Object's Graphical Thickness Property

  • Changing an Object's Graphical Line Style Property

  • Changing the Fill Color Attribute for an Object

  • Changing the Line End Style of a Signal
