The Properties panel group
The Properties panel group contains two panels that allow you to display and alter the properties
of objects and pages.
The Object panel displays properties for a selected object or objects. The top half of the panel
displays a list of properties, such as stroke, fill, and effect, applied to a selected object. The bottom
half of the panel is context-sensitive; it displays options for the selected property in the
list above it.
The Object panel is used in almost all drawing tasks. For more information about the Object
panel, see “Using the Object panel” on page 107; “Applying attributes to strokes” on page 166;
“Applying attributes to fills” on page 177; “Displaying type attributes in the Object panel” on
page 248; and Chapter 7, “Special Effects,” on page 193.
