Associating Custom Properties to Graphic Layers

Associating custom properties to a graphic layer uses a procedure similar to associating graphic elements. Selected custom properties are dragged and dropped on the Custom Properties folder to associate them to a graphic layer. You can associate custom properties to layers with the active layer or directory folder methods.

To associate custom properties to graphic layers

1. Open the selected graphic in the Industrial Graphic Editor with the Symbol Wizard selected.

2. Click the Custom Properties grid to show the locally defined custom properties of the graphic.

   Custom properties of embedded graphics are not listed.

3. Click the Layers tab.

4. Select a layer from the Layers view to add custom properties by selecting the check box next to the layer.

5. Click the box to the left of the check box to expand the layer view and show the Custom Properties folder.

6. Click on a custom property in the Custom Properties view that belongs to the selected graphic layer.

7. Using standard Windows drag and drop technique, drag the custom property from the Custom Properties view and drop it on the Custom Properties folder.

   The selected custom property appears beneath the Custom Properties folder.

8. Repeat steps 6-7 to select all custom properties that belong to the graphic layer.

9. Repeat steps 4-7 to select the remaining custom properties for the different layers of a graphic.

10. Save your changes to the graphic.
