If you want to change an existing object to another object type, select the object and click the arrow adjacent to the Object Type property in the Property window. This displays a list of other object types which can replace the existing one. If the existing object is not capable of being assigned to an attribute, the object does not provide an Object Type property, and cannot be changed.
