The geometrical and spatial information, as well as the properties (layer, color, line style etc) for any curve or solid can be found using the Inspector. For example, the length and angle of a line can be found by selecting the line and viewing the information in the Inspector.

The Inspector is found at the top right of the editor, shown below. The Inspector is also found using Window > Inspector.

Accessing the Inspector

The Inspector can be used to change geometric information, for example, changing the length or angle of a line. Additionally, the Inspector is used to create standards and settings, such as line thickness, text size etc prior to input.

The Inspector also controls how the Gripper is displayed when curves or solids are selected. The Gripper is displayed using Modify > Gripper.

Below is an example of how a solid is selected when the Gripper is enabled. The Object Properties are displayed in the Inspector.
