Properties Panel

The Properties panel displays the properties associated with an object that is selected on the canvas in Footprint Editor, and allows you to change the properties where applicable. Toggle on the Properties panel by clicking View > Display > Properties Panel. Alternatively, click Properties Panel on the status bar or right-click on the status bar and select Properties. When multiple objects of the same type are selected, the same items are displayed as when a single object is selected.

• Properties of multiple objects can be changed simultaneously.
• "Multiple values" is displayed if property values vary between selected objects.
• If multiple objects of different type are selected, only the Fixed property can be changed. However, nothing can be changed for components, segments, vertices or cutouts.
