Dialog Project options - <Project name>

In this dialog, you create and edit the project options (via the popup menu); the icon next to the project option indicates if it is activated. If particular customer requirements mean that you do not require part of a machine for which a project option has been defined, then deactivate the project option. The schematic and reports are then automatically adjusted.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

The project options groups are displayed in the tree tab sorted hierarchically according to project options groups, project options and sections. The respective description of the project options groups, project options and sections is a multi-language text and is displayed by default in the tree view next to the name, separated by a blank and within round brackets.

In the List tab, the names and descriptions of the project options groups, project options, and sections are displayed as standard, and also whether the option is active (i.e., switched on). The displayed properties can be configured using the popup menu.

Filter:

This drop-down list displays all the available filters. A selected filter is automatically activated and is applied to both the tree and the list view. The "- Not activated -" entry deactivates the filter and causes an unfiltered display of the data. Click [...] to open the Filter dialog. Here you can create, edit, delete, copy, export, import, and manage filters.

The popup menu of the Filter drop-down list contains the following entries:

This allows you to toggle rapidly between the unfiltered representation and a representation filtered in accordance with your requirements.
