Displaying an Object's Short Description Attribute in a Diagram

If an object has a name that you have specified as a valid name in Capital Project Manager and the valid name has a short description associated with it, you can display the short description with the instance of the object on the diagram.

Note

If the Short Description specified for the name has changed in Capital Project Manager, you must reassign the name to the object to update the Short Description in the diagram. See Specifying the Name of an Object in a Design or Diagram.

Procedure

1. Right-click an object in the Diagram Window and choose Properties; the Edit Properties Dialog Box displays.

2. On the General tab, select the Visible box next to the Short Description 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.

3. Click OK on the Edit Properties dialog box; the dialog box closes and the text displays on the diagram.
