Used to review or modify information about an element(s), such as its type, attributes, and geometry. The conditions under which the dialog box opens relate to the selection of the Element Information tool — see the procedures below.

The identified or selected element(s) are listed in a tree in the lefthand frame. The General, Details, Attributes and Named Groups tabs appear in the right frame. Information displayed on each of these tabs pertains to the element whose list entry is selected in the lefthand frame.
