Associate custom properties with graphic layers

Associating custom properties with 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 with layers with the active layer or directory folder methods.

To associate custom properties with 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 the check box next to the layer that you want to associate a custom property with.

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

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

7. 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.
