So Siemens in their infinite wisdom removed the Edit Properties command (ST1) and you now have to add it as a button to the QAT.
Only problem is I can't add it in the 2D model sheet.
The ADD option is greyed out.
Can anyone confirm this?

I have a load of text boxes that I need to change the border thickness, and I'm having to do them individually.
This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Why can't I multi-select then right click to get the properties for all of them!

Where would we be without sat-nav?

BC,

when you add this function to the QAT while the working sheet is
active it will be available also when switching to 'draw in view'
Switching to the 2D-Model sheet then you have to add it once more.
(ST2/MP2).
In ST1 (MP5) it must be added to the QAT for each environment and it did
work while within the 2D-Model sheet.
BTW: when a function is already on the QAT you can't add it a second
time.

The 'Edit Properties' will be inactive until an editable item is
selected.

More than once complained about it but it fell on deaf ears (like so
many things; they live in an ivory tower and not in the real world).
Even when pointing out that it's not Windows standard -- nothing ...

OOOPS,
Looks like a code 24 error (error occured 24" FROM SCREEN)
I just found the button already on the QAT.

Doesn't change the right-click thing though.
