Properties List is a window for configuring properties of the selected object.
Properties List's title always displays the name of the currently selected object. For this window to be visible in the project, users must select the Properties List 
option on View menu. The next figure shows a Properties List of an I/O Block Element object with its properties sorted alphabetically.

When selecting multiple objects, the Properties List displays only properties common to the selected objects, with their values corresponding to the last selected object. The same criteria is used if the Properties List is sorted by category, that is, the displayed categories correspond to the last selected object. |

Users can configure a value to a property by typing it directly in its respective Value column. On the right side of a property's name there is an icon that indicates its current status. The icon 
indicates that property's value is the default, that is, its value was not modified by the user, and the icon 
indicates that property's value was modified by the user (a modified value appears in bold). In addition, clicking this icon opens a contextual menu with the options described on the next table.
