Changing objects’ properties

You can change an object’s properties. The properties you can change depend on the object you select. You can also select several objects and change their properties at the same time.

In the Selection Properties dialog box, all the properties you can change are listed on the left, and a preview pane on the right shows you how a modified object will look before you press OK.
