Symbol Properties dialog

In the Symbol Properties dialog, you may define various symbol (or group of symbols) properties, such as fill color, font type, whether to wrap text. The Symbol Properties dialog is a non-modal window - you can edit the symbol properties and see the changes on the diagram instantly. In addition, while the dialog is active you can still work with diagrams or other dialogs.

To open the Symbol Properties dialog

1. On the diagram, select a symbol or a group of symbols.
2. Do one of the following:
   • From the main menu, select Edit > Symbol > Symbol Properties.
   • From the selected elements' shortcut menu, choose Symbol Properties.
   • Press Alt+Enter.

In the following table, you will find the described common functions that Symbol Properties dialog provides.
