Specify Object Types to Use in the Bulk Editor

Use the Object Types page in the Bulk Editor Wizard to select the object types that populate the Bulk Editor during the current editing session. The object types in the model are listed in a tree with icons next to them, and their names match with the names in the Model Explorer.

The object types that are selected here affect the contents of the Property Types and the Object Instances pages. Only valid properties for the selected object type populate the Property Types page. Similarly, objects of the selected object types populate the Object Instances page.

From release r9.6 onward, you can edit the comments that are entered in the Extended Notes tab. To include comments in the Bulk Editor, select the Extended Notes object type on this page.
