About Setting Properties of Multiple Selections

You can select multiple objects at the same time by Control-clicking in the Object Navigator or the editors. When two or more objects are selected, the message "Multiple Selection" is displayed at the top of the Property Palette instead of the Name field.

The Intersection/Union command on the Property Palette toolbar determines which properties are displayed in the property list when more than one object is selected. Switching between Intersection and Union changes the list of properties displayed in the Property Palette, but does not affect the setting of any property.

Intersection
 
The default. Only properties common to all selected objects are displayed.
 
Union
 
All properties of every object selected are displayed.

Properties that are common to two or more objects in a multiple selection are listed only once, and the property setting is displayed as follows:
