Clear Property Values Dialog Box Features

Choose properties to clear property selector

Use the property selector to choose the properties to clear.

Search text box

Filter the contents of the property list so that only the items that match the expression in the text box anywhere in the property name are displayed. You can use the wildcard characters * for zero or more characters and ? for a single character, and square brackets to enclose a range of characters. The filtering is done as soon as you type in the text box. To remove the filter, click the clear button .

Filter button menu

This button opens a menu with sorting and subset items. You can choose sort the list in one of two ways: Alphabetical or Project table order, and you can filter the properties shown in the list to those in the chosen subset. The subsets include the defined property families and two other items, All primary, and Shown (the properties that are shown in the Project Table). If you choose one of the subsets, its name is displayed below the filter text box, with a close button so you can remove the subset filter. In some instances, a filter is preselected when you open the dialog box.

Property list

List of properties for selection. You can use the standard click, control-click and shift-click actions to select multiple properties. The selected properties are highlighted in the list. If you filter the list, any properties that are already selected that do not match the filter are listed below a separator in the list, with the filtered list above.

Select button menu

This menu provides a way of selecting classes of properties. The available menu items include the following:

  • All in Project—select all properties in the project.
  • All Displayed in Table—select all properties that are visible (i.e. not hidden) in the Project Table.
  • All in Filtered List—select all properties that pass the filter set up with the filtering tool.
  • Unit Cell Properties—select all unit cell properties.
  • Invert Selection—invert the property selection by selecting those that aren't currently selected, and deselecting those that are.
  • Clear Selection—clear the property selection.
Modify selected entries only option

Select this option to clear properties only for the entries that are selected in the Project Table. Deselect this option if you want to clear properties for all entries. To clear properties for selected entries, you must select the entries first, before opening this dialog box.
