Dialog of working with detailing of drawings, BOMs, text documents

Scroll

It allows you to create new or edit existing drawings detailing and BOMs/text documents, as well as perform various operations with detailing libraries (they are stored in files with the *.lyt extension).

Depending on the type of document for which the detailing is intended, the dialog appears on the screen after calling one of the following commands on the Settings – Style Libraries:

Detailing format of drawings and BOMs...,

Layout of text documents...

The dialog has two representations, which can display lists of designs stored in two different libraries. Only one representation can be active at a time. To activate the desired representation, left-click it. A frame appears around the representation to indicate that it's active.

Above each window is a search field where you can search for a design by name. To find the desired design, enter the characters you're looking for in the search field, then select the desired line from the list of search results that appears.

Layouts in the lists can be sorted by name or number. To change the sorting, click the header of the required column. A triangle is displayed in the column header by which layouts are sorted. Its position indicates the direction of sorting — ascending or descending.
