The Properties window display is a two-column table that provides the common properties of the current item tag in the active window of the Electrical Index, Electrical Engineer, Reference Data Explorer, or Engineering Data Editor. The active items always determine the content of the Properties window. There can only be one Properties window open. If only one tag is selected in the active window or in the EDE, or all tags are of the same type, all the properties of that tag type are displayed. If the selected items have different values for their common properties, the value field is blank. For select lists, there is a separating line below which all the available values appear. You can modify the values for these properties in the Properties window.

At the top of the Properties window is the Properties box, listing all of the selected items. You can display properties alphabetically or by categories by selecting the corresponding display mode button.

Item properties can be displayed by locating the appropriate item in the Properties box, as well as by selecting in the Reference Data Explorer, Electrical Index, Electrical Engineer, EDE, or open a single line diagram. If more than one item is selected in the active window, then the list at the top of the Properties window contains the choice Select Set, and individual items in the set can be selected from the list.

You can use the Copy Bulk Properties and Paste Bulk Properties buttons to copy properties from one item to another. This action can be particularly useful when, for instance, changes need to apply to more than one item.

  • When you pause your pointer over the buttons on the Properties window toolbar, a ToolTip appears, giving the name of the button.

  • After exiting Smart Electrical, and starting a new session, the software retains the size and position of all the windows that were open in the previous session.
