Errors associated with Types or Definitions of Objects

Error Message: Cannot modify, instance has a type.

An instance of a library component (a typed component) cannot be changed because it is defined by the library component.

If you need to change properties of a typed component, you can do it in one of two ways:

1. You can untype the instance . It then becomes a copy of the library component that can be modified at will. Because untyping breaks the link with the library component (the type), changes to the library component will not change the copy.

2. You can change the properties of the typed component in the library. Those changes will then propagate to all instances in the project.
