Editing the Attributes and Properties of Objects

Assigning an Option Expression to an Object

You can assign an option expression to an object. The system uses the options specified for a design object in Capital Systems Integrator to distinguish the individual variant harness designs when applying the Evaluated Designs facility in the Capital Project Manager application.

Procedure

Right-click the object in the Project Browser Window, Logical Designs Browser (Function tab), Design Browser (Design tab), Configuration Setting Browser Window (Configuration tab) or Diagram Window and choose Properties; the Edit Properties Dialog Box displays.
On the General tab, enter the option expression in the Option field in the Configuration section. You can either enter the expression manually or click the ellipsis button (...) to display the Edit Option Expression Dialog Box.Note The options that are available for assignment to the object in the Edit Option Expression Dialog Box are initially created for the object's project and then assigned to the object's design using the Applicable Options dialog box in the Capital Project Manager application. See the Capital Project Manager User Guide for more information on creating and assigning options and evaluated designs. If you have not assigned any options specifically to the design, the system displays all of the options that exist for the project. If you attempt to enter an invalid option expression in the Expression box, the text displays in red and the OK button is dimmed. If you attempt to enter an invalid expression in the Edit Option Expression dialog box, an error message displays.
If you want the specified option expression to be displayed with the object in the diagram, select the Visible box next to the Option field and then click theEdit Attributes () button to display the Edit Name Text Attributes Dialog Box where you specify how the text displays in the diagram. Click OK on the Edit Name Text Attributes dialog box when finished.
Click the OK button to exit the Edit Properties dialog box.
