About the Properties Inspector
The Properties Inspector allows you quickly to view and edit models from the Canvas. You can also use the Properties Inspector to sort or group variables and filter variables and parameters. You can access the Properties Inspector by right-clicking a model on the Canvas, or by right-clicking a Flowsheet or model on the Simulation Manager and selecting Full Properties.

Concepts
-
You can view models and change their parameter values, and variable specifications and values
-
You can open the Properties Inspector multiple times and view the properties of more than one model at a time
-
Changes you make in the Properties Inspector are automatically reflected in the other application views (like the Simulation Manager) and on the Canvas
Actions
-
Open more than one Properties Inspector window at a time
-
Sort variables and parameters by selecting their column heading
-
Group variables and parameters by moving column headings to the Group box
