• New is used to create a new file using the properties of the selected part and associate the new design file to all selected parts. This operates just like the New toolbar button.

• Open is used to associate an existing design file with all selected parts. This operates just like the Open toolbar button.

• Clear is used to remove the association between the selected parts and their corresponding design files. This operates just like the Clear toolbar button.

• Existing shows a list of all design files already associated with parts of the same type as the selected parts. For example, if a wall is selected then the Existing sub-menu will show a list of all Eriksson Wall files that are already associated with walls in the model. Clicking on the file name will set the design file to the selected parts without modifying the file.

Design Column Drop Down

If one part is selected in the grid then a drop down box in the Design column can be used to set the design file. The drop down box will contain a list of files already associated with types of that part as well as New, Open, and Clear options that function the same as the toolbar buttons and the grid context menu items.
