I have a project with a number of drawing sheets. Right now it's a number of rack and pictorial sheets for 3 sets of rooms.
On some sheets I can select all. In the attributes window the attributes are shown and can be edited.
On other sheets when I select all, the attributes window is completely empty.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to set the location for all the items on a sheet to the same thing.
For example, I'd like to set the location for everything on sheet A to Hall A. Set the location for everything on sheet B to Hall B.
The issue doesn't seem to be associated with a particular module. One rack sheet will work as expected, another rack sheet will not. Same for pictorial sheets.
Is there something I'm missing?

Hi Tom,
When you are in a drawing and Select All you are selecting everything in the drawing, whatever the drawing contains.
If the drawing only contains Product Symbols then the Properties Grid is able to show Attributes of those products.
However, if the drawing contains a mix of objects e.g. product symbols, and Cables, and drawing primitives (like Lines, Rectangles, Text etc) the the Properties Grid is unable to show all the various properties and attributes of that mixed selection.
Also, if the drawing contains many thousands of objects, for performance purposes the Properties Grid may appear empty because it has a limit on the number of things it can handle. It's a large limit, but a limit nevertheless.
Really, the best approach would be to use the Products View because, if I read things correctly, your objective is to set Attribute values on Products, and this is exactly what the Products View is designed for.
I hope this is helpful.
