Controls parameters for customizing the appearance of the CADWorx Spec View palette.
View Options
Show optional components
Displays optional components in the CADWorx Spec View palette and the router list. If you select this option, use the CADWorx Spec View palette or the router to draw components. If you start the component placement from the command line, SPACE to run last command, or a toolbar, and not from the CADWorx Spec View palette or the router, then those options use the default component based on the current size setting. This may not be the same component that you selected in the CADWorx Spec View palette.
Show all components
Displays all components listed in the specification file regardless of the current size set. If you select this option, use the CADWorx Spec View palette or the router to draw components. If you start the component placement from the command line, SPACE to run last command, or a toolbar, and not from the CADWorx Spec View palette or the router, then those options use the default component based on the current size setting. This may not be the same component that you selected in the CADWorx Spec View palette.
Selecting Show All Components does not include showing socket weld or threaded components. Socket weld and threaded components must be selected independently.

Tree Options
View 1 (No tree or categories)
Lists components in numerical order based on the Sort Sequence set for the component in the specification file.
View 2 (One level tree with more categories)
Creates a category for each type of component. For example, butt-welded and socket-welded tees are listed in separate categories.
View 3 (One level tree with less categories)
Creates fewer categories than View 2. For example, all tees are listed in a single category.
View 4 (Two level tree with Spec Editor style view)
Displays a two-level tree that is arranged in the same sequence as the Spec Editor application.
View Modes
View in Component Category mode
Displays the components in the CADWorx Spec View tab in component category mode view. For example, each valve displays under the category name for that valve, such as Valves, 3-Way, and each elbow displays under the category name for that elbow, such as Elbows, 90.
View in Component Group mode
Displays the components in the CADWorx Spec View tab in group mode view. For example, all the valves display under the Valves group name, and all elbows display under the Elbows group name. You can create new groups in the Specification Editor. For more information, see New Group Data Table, Group Data Table Manager Dialog Box, and Add Group Component in the CADWorx Spec Editor Users Guide.
