Browse for element properties

If you are working on a graphic, you can create references to properties of other graphics. For example, you can reference another graphic’s properties from an animation link or script. You can browse the properties of all elements on the canvas or custom properties.

To browse for element properties

1. In any area on a page, select the Browse (...) button, if available. The Galaxy Browser opens.

2. Select the Element Browser tab.

   

3. By default, the browser shows only those properties that are frequently accessed. If you are viewing the properties of an element for the first time, the right pane can be blank. Select the Show all properties check box to show all of the object’s attributes.

4. Select the property and then select OK.

   • The fully-qualified reference string appears in the option.

   • If you are working in the script editor, the selected reference appears in the script at the current cursor position and replaces text that was selected.
