propEditDefaultSelectAll
layout propEditDefaultSelectAll cyclic { "Never" | "Always" | "Invocation" | "Retain" }
Description
Sets the default selection behavior of the selection tree when you invoke the Edit Properties form.
-
Never: Shows only a single object as selected in the selection tree when you invoke the form. -
Always: Shows all objects as selected in the selection tree when you invoke the form. Selection changes on the canvas do not affect the selection behavior in the tree; all objects are always shown as selected in the tree unless you change the selection in the tree. For example, when you invoke the form with three objects selected on the canvas, all three objects appear as selected in the tree. Now when you select an additional object on the canvas, the tree lists four objects and all objects are marked as selected. -
Invocation: Shows all objects as selected in the selection tree when you invoke the form. Upon selection changes on the canvas, the tree shows only a single object as selected. For example, when you invoke the form with three objects selected on the canvas, all three objects appear as selected in the tree. When you select one more object on the canvas, the tree lists four objects, with only one object marked as selected. -
Retain: Maintains the last selection behavior of the selection tree when you invoke the form.
