Copy, Paste, Save, Load buttons:

• The position of these "form" buttons on the window tells you what settings they apply to. Click here for more information.
• You can Copy ( ) the settings on this window, then Paste ( ) those settings to a different edit window of the same type.
• Save ( ) saves a file to a global folder ( ) that is used by your current version of SDS2. Give the file a name that will help other users identify its purpose. Load ( ) replaces the settings on this window (except Piecemark) with the settings that are stored in the file that you select.
• When editing multiple windows at the same time, Paste and Load replace mixed entries to a single field with a single entry. Copy and Save ignore fields with mixed entries, treating them as if they have no entry or do not exist.

General settings

Piecemark or System piecemark or User piecemark or Frozen piecemark

Setup: Piecemarking uses the " Piecemark Prefix " for " Miscellaneous " when assigning a system piecemark to a legacy miscellaneous member.

Left/Right end standard detail: None or a standard detail name. To apply a standard detail, you can type in the file name of the drawing (if you know it), or press the "file cabinet" browse button ( ) and double-click any job standard detail or global standard detail that is on the list.

If ' none ' is entered here, then no standard detail will be applied on this end of the legacy miscellaneous member when it is automatically detailed.

If a ' standard detail name ' is entered here, the next time you auto detail this legacy miscellaneous member, the reference point of the standard detail will align with the input work point on this end of the member, and the standard detail's bill of material will be combined with the member's bill of material. The detail is placed on a layer that is named after the standard detail plus a " _L " or " _R " suffix.

Special Buttons for Detailing this Legacy Miscellaneous Member
Press this button to open a window with a list of preset views that you can select. When you Detail this member, any preset view you select will be drawn on the detail.	Press this button to open a list of views you can delete. If this member has only a main view, you will get a warning instead of a list of views since you cannot delete the main view.	This button opens the Annotations... window. Press " OK " on that window to detail this column.  Newly added views will be drawn on the detail. Deleted views will not be drawn.	Press this button to start up the Drawing Editor . You will automatically be shown the detail of this member if the member has been detailed and if the file is not currently open.

Tip: When the setup option " Detailed " is set to ' In position ', isolation's main view is the view shown on the detail, and the preset views are based off of that main view. If " Detailed " is set to ' Horizontal ' or ' Vertical ', the main view is always shown flat, and the preset views that are selected are based off of that flat view.

"Properties" opens the Edit Properties window, on which you can make entries to custom properties . If your current Job was set to use a legacy flavor when it was created, the window that opens is named Custom Properties , not Edit Properties .

Tip: The Edit Properties window can also be used to read " Log " entries or review or type " Notes ."

Tip: The Member Properties command is an alternative to this button. It opens the Edit Properties window directly, without your first having to open a member edit window.

" Status " opens the Member Status Review window, which can give you additional information about the member, and which you can use to enter status information or designate a member as an existing member .

Note: This button shows if one or more " Repeat " check boxes on the Member Status Review window do not match the checked-unchecked state of same-named fields in User and Site Options > Site > " Member status items to copy/repeat ." On the Status Review window, the fields that do not match User and Site Options are plotted in red .

" OK " (or the Enter key) closes the edit window and saves any changes you have made on the window to the member file.

Solids on "OK" : If the appropriate choice is made to User and Site Options > Modeling > " Automatically process after modeling operation ," then this member will automatically be regenerated (Create Solids will take place) after your press " OK ." Otherwise, you will have to manually Process and Create Solids in order for changes you made on this window to be fully updated in the 3D model.

Change all: If you Edit Member (one member only) and make a change that potentially triggers the " Do you want to change all ... " dialog and the 3D model contains more than one member of the same type that has the same piecemark as the member you changed, a yes-no dialog opens. On it is the question, " Do you want to change all (members with this piecemark). " Press the " Yes " button to change all the members; press the " No " button to change only this member.

" Cancel " (or the Esc key or the button) closes the edit window without saving any changes that you have made. " Cancel " does not undo a " Detail Member " operation.

Note: If you opened this window while adding a member, " Cancel " brings you back to the work point location step of adding a member.

Tip: Any time you use Edit Member just to review a member (and you do not want to set the defaults for to-be-added members), the best way to close this window is to " Cancel. "

" Reset " undoes any changes made since you opened this window.

Exception: " Reset " does not undo changes made using the " Add View " " Delete View " " Detail Member " " View detail " buttons.
