The Element Settings is a modeless dialog that allows the viewing and setting of properties of a selected element:
- If a single entity, connector or process is selected, the dialog displays its properties. Otherwise the dialog shows global properties of the model in the active canvas.
- Change of selection or switching between canvas windows results in an update of the dialog.
- Changing a setting in the dialog has an immediate effect in the model.
- The display properties associated with an element are preserved in the model file and override global view settings.
The Element Settings dialog allows the setting of mathematical formulas as element properties to define dependencies between elements during the simulation. The mathematical formulas can be set for specific entity, process or connector properties with the help of the Script Editor dialog box. The Script Editor dialog can be opened by pressing the button ?g...?h left of the element property edit box.
