When you modify the value of a property in an object, you break the delta link inheritance of the property value between that object and its source object (assuming there is a delta link between them). Any subsequent changes that are made to the same property in the source object will not be updated in the target object.
In the Properties editor, any property that has been manually changed and does not inherit its value from its source object is marked with a "not equals" icon ( ) next to the property name. This enables you to quickly identify properties that have been modified locally in an object.
To restore the inheritance of property values between delta link objects is to do either of the following:
Set the Inheritance property in the source object to Locked in target objects . For more information, see Defining Property Attributes .
This action affects the same property in all dependent objects derived from the current object.
Reset the property inheritance using the Reset button in the Properties editor.
This action restores the property inheritance between the current object and its immediate source object only.
This topic describes how to use the reset features.
You can use the delta link tracer to view the delta link chain of any object. See Tracing Delta Link Dependencies .
Display the properties of the object you are editing in the Properties editor.
Reset the property inheritance in manually modified properties either separately per property or all properties at once:
Action |
Description |
---|---|
Reset all properties at once |
|
Reset a single property |

Choose Save to apply the modified property attributes of the object.
