Form: Link/Support Properties
Use the Components > Type > Line Properties > Expand arrow command to access the Link/Support Properties form; use that form to add, modify, or delete a link property. Link properties describe the linear and nonlinear behavior for the link objects to which they are assigned.
TIP: The form described in this topic also can be accessed by clicking the + (plus) symbol that may appear next to a drop-down list of available link properties, such as the Link Property drop-down lists on the Assign Springs Along Line Object form. Additionally, the Link/Support Properties form also displays when the Define/Show Link Properties button is clicked on the Bridge Wizard when Step 3.3 Links is highlighted.
