Accessing the advanced editor

This procedure describes how to access the advanced editor.

About this task
You can access the advanced editor for an object or an instance by right-clicking it and selecting Advanced Editor.

The advanced editor represents the objects only in terms of properties and values. Each field is recognized as a property. The field contents for that object or instance are represented as values.

If the general editor for a given object is already open, selecting Open with the advanced editor brings the current editor to the front. To open the advanced editor, you must close this editor, and select Open with the advanced editor again.

Any errors or validations are listed in the third column against the specific property.

Note: If you double-click an object, the general editor opens. If that editor does not exist, then you are provided with the advanced editor.
  1. Right-click an object or instance.
  2. Select Advanced Editor.
  3. The advanced editor for the selected object or instance opens in the editor area of the workbench.
