The Properties view is used to view and modify the properties of a currently selected model item(s). For example, when you select something in the Projects view or in the graphical editor, the Properties view displays the properties of the selection.

By default, the Properties view is docked to the right side of the AnyLogic window.

To show or hide the Properties view

   The Properties view

The Properties view consists of several sections. Each section contains controls such as edit boxes, check boxes, buttons, and so on, that are used to view and modify properties. The number of pages and their appearance depends on the type of element you have Selected.

You can simultaneously modify the properties of multiple elements, even if they are of different types. When you select multiple elements, the Properties view displays the properties common to all the elements in the selection.

When elements have different values of a property, it is marked with the multiple values label. The values of these fields can also be modified, and the change will apply to all selected elements.

The Properties view supports several keyboard shortcuts for quick access to specific commands.
