Properties

The Properties control bar shows all the properties of a selected item. Properties are categorized into categories such as Item and Material and this control bar has a tab for each property category of the selected item. Whenever a single item is selected, this dialog will be updated to show the properties of that item.

The Properties control bar looks like this:

To activate it, click on the Properties button on the Workspace toolbar, or go to View, Control Bars, Properties

Hyperlinks are also classed as a property category and so can be added and edited from this control bar using the context menu. See for more details on hyperlinks.

JetStream will also convert many different CAD application object properties, such as those from Architectural Desktop or MicroStation TriForma

Every property has a type associated with it, for example, an item's Name is a string, and so on. Some properties are dependent on the current profile, so if you are more technically oriented and wish to see more detailed property information, such as a file's transform check the profile level in Global Options, Profile

Properties can be brought in from an external database and shown inside database-specific tabs in the Properties control bar. See for more details on how to bring through object properties using DataTools.
