The Properties tab for any structural element usually has a LH Menu. The items displayed, though vary from element to element. The items will be listed and defined in the Reference Section near the end of this guide.
These LH Menu items are only groupings of property panels (see The New Dialog topic). The same property panels may also appear elsewhere in the same Edit Properties dialog for the same element, for example the panels in Properties -> Layout will also be found at Layout Assistant -> Properties in the same dialog.
So, the Properties tab's LH Menu usually has many possible entries. The following is intended to be a broad guide so that you can find your way around this tab — and, by implication, the rest of the Edit Properties structure.
Here, we exclude Nuts & Bolts. Indeed, some of the "Nuts & Bolts" items have Property tabs with empty LH Menus
The following table is a rule of thumb only, and we include it here for general guidance. Advanced Mode items are so marked.
