The property editor Filter menu
The property editor filter is a powerful tool with which
you can show or hide properties on selected objects. You
can use the pop-up Filters menu on the spreadsheet to
view the status of a property or edit columns, tabs, or the
entire property editor spreadsheet.
You can add, delete, or change any filter except the
<Current properties> filter. The <Current properties>
filter displays all properties as undefined until you create
or select another filter.
When you create a new filter, all properties appear
undefined, just as in the <Current properties> filter. If you
right-click a column heading and select Filters from the
pop-up menu, you will see that each property is
Undefined, and the filter specifies Show Undefined.
Your results will be more reliable if you use the property
editor Filters menu to make changes rather than editing
the PREFPROP.TXT file manually.
Changes to the filters are saved to PREFPROP.TXT when
you close the spreadsheet. If you need to retrieve the
original version, you can copy PREFPROP.TXT from the
Orcad installation CD in the Capture directory.
