Displaying Option Names or Option Descriptions in Dialogs

You can display either option names or option descriptions in dialogs where options are listed (both as column titles and as selectable objects in windows).

Press Space Bar and enter Show Option Description to select either option names or option descriptions. The option descriptions are defined in Capital Project Manager and cannot be edited in other applications.

When option descriptions are displayed, they are followed by the option name in brackets.

For example:

V6 3.0L Engine [ENG_3.0] where V6 3.0L Engine is the option description and ENG_3.0 is the option name.

When just option names are displayed, it would read ENG_3.0.

If option descriptions have been selected but no description has been given for an option, the option name appears in brackets, such as [ENG_3.0].

Note

Options displayed in the diagram window and options displayed in option expressions will be displayed as the option name regardless of the setting.
