You can view and edit outline properties, such as component keep-out properties.
To access the
Properties panel, the tree view, expand the desired outline node (such as
Component Keep-Out Areas), then right-click the outline and select
Properties.
Not all outline types have the same properties. For example, some keep-out and keep-in areas are 2D rather than 3D so do not have heights.

| Owner |
Specifies an owner. An Owner is not supported by all ECAD systems. The CircuitWorks software can modify the outline properties, ignoring the owner value. You can change the value before exporting IDF data:
|

You can modify the model only in the ECAD system. |
|
MCAD |
You can modify the model only in the MCAD system. |
|
Unowned |
You can modify the model in either system. |
