We wish to change the colors on a number of buttons on the diagram called Plant Types (which is displayed in the title bar of with the description name of Different types of plants) in the IGSS Demo configuration.

 

  1. Go to the diagram Plant Types (Different types of plants).
  2. Open Property Table View (use either Ctrl-H or find it in the Diagram menu) and in the tree view on the left under Descriptors find the Buttons entry and select it.
  3. In the table on the right select the column called Fill color and it changes font character to bold.
  4. Right click in the Fill color cell and a right click menu appears.
