Enter overrides and set visibility for attribute and graphic values

For both attributes and graphics that contain a wizard or custom properties, you can enter overrides that apply only to the associated Object Wizard Choice or Option. While the following procedure shows how to configure a graphic, the procedure for configuring attributes is virtually identical. See also Attribute and graphic overrides.

To configure an Override for a Choice or Option

1. Select the Choice or Option you want to configure (Choices and Options pane).

2. Select a graphic or attribute (Associations pane) associated with the Choice or Option. See Associate Content with a Choice or Option for information about associating graphics with Object Wizards.

   This does not apply to scripts since they can only be associated with a Choice or Option. There are no configuration or visibility settings that can be configured.

3. In the Settings pane, override the default values as needed. Overrides are shown in bold and by an X next to the new value. See

   • You can resize columns in the Settings pane as needed by selecting and moving the boundary between column headers.

   • Symbol Wizard and Custom Property settings are visible by default. Overrides are automatically hidden from users.

     • You can only restore the visibility of a Symbol Wizard setting with an override by removing the override.

       Note: This behavior is unique to Symbol Wizard overrides. You can change visibility settings for both Custom Property overrides and attribute overrides.

     • You can restore the visibility of a Custom Property with an override by selecting the Visibility icon until it is unmuted. The icon will have a small X in its upper right quadrant to indicate that Visibility has been overridden.

   • Switching a Custom Property string type between expression/reference and static text is an override (value is displayed with bold type with an X next to the value and in the Visibility setting).

   • Attribute settings are hidden by default. You can override the Visibility settings for attributes that use their default setting, as well as for attributes that have an override.

     

     Note: Attribute, Symbol Wizard, and Custom Property values that are marked as visible can be overridden by users as they configure instances.

Note: The total number of configured settings (visibility settings and value settings) is shown in the Associations pane, and is reflected in the Choices and Options pane. See Attribute and graphic overrides for additional information.
