Defining a New Object Property

An object property is the information that you assign to an object such as a via, circle, donut, ellipse, instance, label, path, pin, polygon, or rectangle. This information can be used to identify an object or to add information for further processing by other applications.

To define a new property for an object:

1. In the layout window, choose Edit – Basic – Properties.
2. Select one or more objects on the canvas.
   The Edit Properties form appears, displaying the properties of the first selected object.
3. Click the Property tab.
   The properties of the object appear.
4. Click Add.
   The Add Property form appears.
5. Specify the required values for the new property.
6. Click OK.
   Your new property appears at the bottom of the Edit Properties form.
