The Properties view is used to view and modify the properties of a currently selected model item(s). When you select something – e.g., in the Projects view or in the graphical editor – the Properties view displays the properties of the selection.
By default the Properties view is docked to the right part of AnyLogic window.
To show/hide the
Properties view

The Properties view
The Properties view contains several sections. Every section contains controls such as edit boxes, check boxes, buttons, etc., used to view and modify properties. The number of pages and their appearance depend on the type of a selected object.
There is a number of keyboard shortcuts assigned to certain commands that enable you to use the keyboard instead of the mouse when working with the properties view.
