Assembly Type Properties

Type properties are user-defined for each unique assembly type as needed. To specify or modify a type property of an assembly, you change the value of the corresponding parameter as described under Modifying Type Properties.

Note: Changing an assembly type property will affect all assemblies of that type in the project.

Common type properties for assemblies are described below.
