Working Within the Objects Hierarchy
To display the Objects hierarchy:
s
Click
View > Objects
or
View > Objects and Properties
.
The object list is hierarchical. You can expand or collapse the view of objects by
selecting a top-level object and using the
View > Expand
and
View > Collapse
commands.
When you select an object, the properties for that object are displayed in the
Properties list.
Each object is listed by its object type and is bold. After the object name, information
such as the object class or index may appear. Use it to identify the object. If the object
is red, it has properties with different values in the Baseline and the Actual files. If the
object is blue, it exists in the Baseline file but not in the Actual file.
You can do any of the following to work within the Objects hierarchy. The Objects
hierarchy must have window focus.
