Is is possible to create 2 properties views for a figure? For example, for
each figure I have a view model (size, location, etc.) and a business
model (business stuff), and I want to be able to change each models
attributes via 2 separate properties views. Is this possible?
thank you,
B

Sean probably meant to link to this:

You can create as many views as you want, and thus as many properties views
as you want. Of course, nobody other than you is going to be contributing
to those views. IMO, it's better to keep all the properties together. If
the current view does not meet your needs, move everything to a custom view.

Thanks for the links! This will help. I will probably end up creating a
custom view.
thanks,

In your case you could do something like a custom view that has a button
to flick between your business and view properties, or maybe show them
in a tree structure where there are two top level parents...view and
business.

Ok, so what's the difference in having to click on a button and clicking
on a tab? In my opinion, clicking on a tab is much nicer looking.
"or maybe show them in a tree structure where there are two top level

Good idea!

The difference is that the view tab does nothing when using all other types
of editors. Whereas the button would disappear when using other editors.
Why don't you just merge the two sets of properties together. Do you think
that the user has this mental model of business and view model separated?
You can also use categories in the propertysheet to separate the two.

Absolutely! It all depends on your target audience. Have you ever looked
at Poseidon for UML? They do just that!
"You can also use categories in the propertysheet to separate the two."
Another good idea. Thanks!
