This section presents some tips and tricks related to synoptic views and properties.
Viewing Information on Synoptic Properties
You can set the 3D views to show which objects have synoptic and annotation properties. This is controlled by the Attachments setting in the Camera Visibility property editor.
When attachments are visible, the following labels are displayed:
[S] indicates that the object has one or more synoptic properties.
[A] indicates that the object has one or more annotation properties.
[S,A] indicates that the object has both synoptic and annotation properties.
To show or hide attachments in the 3D views
On the Attributes tab, toggle Attachments. You can control this setting independently for Selected Objects and Unselected Objects.
Adding Synoptic Views to Property Editors
You can add a synoptic view to the property editor of a custom property. To see an example, make sure the SDK Examples workgroup is connected (see SDK Example Workgroup), choose View Toolbars PPGDemos, and click Embedded Synoptic.
