You define property set data for an object by establishing a link to one or more property set definitions. The property set data assigns a value for each object property in the property set definition(s). Automatic property values are defined based on the attached object or style and are dynamically updated when the object or style is modified. Manual property values are numbers or text strings that you enter, and they can be modified at any time.
Property set data can be attached to an object, object style, or object definition. You can also edit or browse property set data or renumber any property set that increments automatically, such as a register number.
