# 2.2.13 Properties

Clicking on the Properties (Describe Mode) button cancels all active commands, closes any open dialog windows and places focus on the main window.

Until an object is selected, the object under the cursor that will be selected with Left-Click is highlighted in blue. Objects in Frozen Layers will only be highlighted and selected if Shift is added.

A Left-Click on an object while in Properties mode causes a properties dialog window to appear. The properties dialog contains information pertaining to the selected objects size, position, size, color and layer as appropriate for each type of object. Certain values can be changed to modify the object. Some values, e.g., endpoint positions, can not be changed if, for example, a Track is joined to another Track. The values will take effect when Enter, Tab is pressed or the cursor leaves the entry field.

The selected object is highlighted by a grey area.
