To edit attribute values, depending on the attribute type, either:
|
- To create object attribute definitions see Add or Edit an Attribute Definition.
- If an invalid attribute value is entered the message "Invalid entry" displays.
- For image attributes, double click the image name to view the image or click
to display the details panel, then double click the image to view an enlargement of the image. - When multiple objects are selected, the Attributes tool window displays the properties and attributes for the first selected object in the data base. Editing the attributes for the displayed object can also edit the attributes for other selected objects. See example below.
This example explains what attributes are edited when multiple objects are selected.
The project contains the following objects and attributes:
| Object ID | Object | Layer | Attribute 1 | Attribute 2 | Attribute 3 | Attribute 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Point | Tree | Description | Height (real4) | Spread (real4) | Type (text) |
| 2 | Point | Tree | Description | Height (real4) | Type (text) | |
| 3 | Point | Bush | Description | Height (real4) | Type (text) | |
| 4 | Line | Fence | Description | Height (real4) | Type (text) |
The following table explains behaviour when editing multiple attributes.
| Selected Objects | Attributes edited | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 | Height,Spread,Type (text) | Both objects are given the same Height and Type. The attribute Spread is not added to object '2'. |
| 1,4 | None available to edit | As objects types are different attributes are not displayed and can not be edited. |
| 1,3 | Description, Height | Objects are on different layers so only the predefined system attributes can be multi edited. If object '1' is displayed in the Attributes window then when Height and Description are edited, only the Description attribute is edited for object '2'. |
