Viewing and Editing Object Records

The Object Info palette Data tab is used to attach, view, and edit the record values for specific instances.

If selecting multiple objects with different records attached, the Data tab displays records that are attached to objects with a grayed box, but does not indicate which records are attached to which objects.

Resize the list boxes by selecting and dragging the resize bars between them.

To edit record field values for a selected object:

  1. Select the object.

  2. Select the Data tab from the Object Info palette. The Object Info palette displays information about the record format attached to the selected object.

  3. Select the desired record in the Record Formats, and then the desired field in the Record Fields. Change the Record Info the default value.

This information applies to the selected object only; other new and existing objects with that record attached will still use the original (default) record format values. If a selected chair has a different part number from the default value that is entered in the record format, enter the new part number for that chair only. If the part number for all chairs has changed, edit the default record format instead.
