Using the Property inspector

The Property inspector lets you edit the properties of the current selection, tool, or document. By default, the Property inspector is docked at the bottom of the workspace.

The Property inspector can be open at half height, displaying two rows of properties, or at full height, displaying four rows. You can also fully collapse the Property inspector while leaving it in the workspace.

To undock the Property inspector:

• Drag the gripper at the upper left corner to another part of the workspace.

To dock the Property inspector at the bottom of the workspace (Windows only):

• Drag the side bar on the Property inspector to the bottom of the screen.

To expand a half-height Property inspector to full height, revealing additional options:

• Click the expander arrow in the lower right corner of the Property inspector.
• Click the icon in the upper right of the Property inspector and select Full Height from the Property inspector Options menu.

  NOTE

  In Windows, the Options menu is available only when the Property inspector is docked.

To reduce the Property inspector to half height:

• Click the expander arrow in the lower right corner of the Property inspector.
• Select Half Height from the Property inspector Options menu.

  NOTE

  In Windows, the Options menu is available only when the Property inspector is docked.

To collapse the Property inspector when it is docked:

• Click the expander arrow or the title of the Property inspector.
• Select Collapse Panel Group from the docked Property inspector's Options menu.
