The links shown above for " Members " take you to documentation for the Member Annotations and Dimensioning window. That window opens when you Process > Detail Members then select one or more members on the member selection dialog then press the " Settings " button ( )
The reason that links go there is that settings for " Members " on this window set the default choices that you will find on that window. When you Detail Members for the first time, choices on the Member Annotations and Dimensioning window will exactly match the choices made here, on this window.
Be aware that these defaults are set on a per-Fabricator basis. When you Detail Members , you will get the defaults that are set for your current Fabricator .
After a member is detailed for the first time (or after the Member Annotations and Dimensioning window is opened for the first time), the settings on that window are stored with the member, and this window will no longer affect the choices made on that window unless you press that window's " Default " button.
If you press the " Default " button on the Member Annotations and Dimensioning window, that window will automatically be populated with the default settings entered on this window. You might apply these defaults from setup, for example, if you want to re-detail a number of member details in a particular way that is different from the way that they were originally detailed.
Settings for " Group Members " on this window set the default choices that you will find on the Group Member Annotations and Dimensioning window.
