The properties of template components and objects determine things such as the size, color, font and the output options. You can modify these properties through part-specific property dialog boxes.

To open the property dialog box for a template component or object, select and double-click the template component or object in the Workarea or in the Content Browser.

Template Editor opens a component- or object-specific property dialog box. The changes you make there update the component or object when you accept them by clicking OK.
