Editing Object Attributes
The Uses tab is an efficient location for editing usage information about the children of a selected assembly.
• Click a row in the table to highlight that row. Table cells in boxes can be edited.
• Use the SHIFT or CTRL keys to highlight multiple rows.
• Use the TAB key to move the cursor to the right and down within the editable fields in the table.
• Use the SHIFT and TAB keys to move the cursor to the left and up within editable fields in the table.
• The arrow keys move the cursor one cell in the direction of the arrow.
• The HOME key goes to the first editable cell and the END key goes to the last editable cell.

The parent part must be checked out to edit usage attributes. Editing any attribute in the Uses table automatically checks out the parent part. You must check in the parent when editing is complete to save the changes you have made. The assembly is not checked in automatically.
