ABSTRACT:
An application, method and apparatus for revision of attributes of selected objects as controlled by a computer system. The computer system has at least a visual operator interface, an operating system for operating applications within the computer system, and memory for storing the application therein. Selected objects, such as other applications, parts of applications such as cells in a spread sheet, or real objects such as printers, are designated for selected attribute revision. A global change operation for all of the designated objects having properties to be revised is selected. The attributes are revised as desired and the revised attributes are propagated to the designated objects. Also disclosed is a method, apparatus and application for indicating the desired revisions to the attributes using a model object. The model object method, apparatus and application is an alternative embodiment of the invention.
