The iProperties option is used to change general properties of the model. The procedure to use this option is given next.

• Click on the iProperties option from the File menu. The iProperties dialog box will be displayed as shown in following Figure.

• The options in General tab display the general information of the part. Note that you cannot modify any of the values in this tab.
• Click on the Summary tab to specify the user details for the part. Similarly, you can specify the project details, status, and other custom details by using the respective tabs.
• The Physical tab in this dialog box is generally a major attraction for engineers. Using the options in the Physical tab, you can specify and check the mass properties of the model; refer to following Figure.

• Select desired material from the Material drop-down. The value of density will change accordingly and hence the other property parameters like mass, center of gravity, and so on will change.
