Defining the Value of an Extended Attribute

You can define the value of an extended attribute in the Value column that is displayed in the Extended Attributes tab of an object property sheet.

If extended attributes are defined in a user-defined tab, it is even easier to define their values, see Displaying extended attributes in specific tabs.

You can also display and modify extended attributes in object lists, but you need to modify the default display of the list using the Customize Columns and Filter tool in the list toolbar. In the following example, some javadoc extended attributes are displayed in the list of interfaces.

1. Open the property sheet of an object.

   or

   Select Model > Object to display a list of objects.

2. Click the Extended Attributes tab to display the corresponding tab.

   or

   Click a user-defined tab to display a user-define tab for extended attributes.

   or

   Click the Customize Columns and Filter tool, select extended attributes in the list of columns, and click OK.

3. Click the Value column of an extended attribute if you want to modify its value and select a value from the list.

   or

   Type values directly in the boxes of the user-defined extended attribute tab.

   or

   Type or select a value in the value cell in the list.

4. Click OK.
