Object Attributes Icon

The Object Attributes icon control displays the Object Attributes dialog. When the dialog opens, it shows the current name, position, orientation, and scale of the object.

The Object Attributes dialog is where you'll set up the object's name, size, orientation, placement, and display quality. It is most often used to numerically transform the object. When you're animating an object, the dialog is used to control how the object interacts with its motion path. Refer to "Animation" for more on animating.

The Object Attributes dialog contains three tabs which let you set various object properties:

• General: contains options that let you set the object name, position, size, rotation, and display quality.
• Linking: contains options that let you set up a link between two objects. You can also use this tab to set up a tracking link.
• Animation: contains options for controlling the display of motion paths and setting the motion path type.

To display the Object Attributes dialog:

1. Select an object or group of objects.
2. Choose Objects > Edit Attributes or press Cmd/Ctrl+Opt/Alt+E or click the icon next to the object's bounding box.
