Properties (Global) Mode

The Properties (global) editing mode allows global editing of the common properties of distributed functions in a single step. When doing this you can either edit the common properties for all function representations of an auxiliary function or a main function. It is also possible to globally edit the DT for all function representations of a device.

With a few exceptions, you can globally edit all properties available in the following tabs of the Properties (global) <...> dialog.

The following table shows which properties in these tabs cannot be globally edited in the properties (global) editing mode.

Property	Meaning
Cross-reference display: Display	Cross-reference display representation.
Cross-reference display: Number of rows / columns	Number of rows or columns for a row or column oriented cross-reference display.
Revision marker (project comparison)	Revision change marker
Block property	Properties which were determined in the associated Block property: Format format property.
Block property: Format	Selects which properties are specified in the relevant block property.
Automatically generated	Shows if a function was generated by an automatic run (e.g., automatically generated cables).
Macro	Macro from which the function originates.

In the Properties (global) <...> dialog you also cannot globally edit the properties using the properties (global) mode in the following tabs:

Tab Display
Tab Symbol / function data
Tab Format
Tab Contact image setting

In these tabs you can only edit the selected function representation of the main or auxiliary function. All other associated function representations are not changed.
