Allows you to define, select, and save layouts for the Engineering Data Editor grid.
Name
Includes the name and usage of the layout.
Name
Displays the name of a saved layout. You can enter a new layout name and then select Save to save the layout for re-use, or you can select any of the layouts in the list.
Default
Indicates whether the named layout is the default layout for the item type in the Edit View dialog. You can designate a layout as the default by selecting this box and then selecting Save.
Usage
Lists the property display types associated with the Properties window. The available options are:
Blank value
Specifies that neither Brief nor Bulk usage is implemented in the selected layout.
Brief
Determines that the list of properties shown in the Display Property column are displayed in the Properties window when you select the Show Brief Properties command from the toolbar.
Bulk
Determines that the list of properties shown in the Display Property column are copied in the Properties window when using the Copy Bulk Properties and Paste Bulk Properties commands from the toolbar.
Brief/Bulk
Specifies that both Brief and Bulk usage are implemented in the selected layout.
Where more than one layout exists, you can define the usage as Brief for any one layout and Bulk for any other layout, or you can define the usage as Brief/Bulk for one layout only. If you previously defined the usage for a particular layout and subsequently define the same usage for another layout, the usage in the first layout is removed. For your choice for the Usage property to take effect, you must exit and re-enter the design software.
Delete
Deletes the layout selected in the Name field.
Save
Saves the data in this dialog as a named layout. Layout names must be unique.
Saving a layout is not the same as saving a view in the Engineering Data Editor. See Save an Engineering Data Editor View.
Definition
Displays all defined criteria associated with the selected layout. This group contains two list views: one for the contents to display and one for the properties used for sorting. In order to add to or modify either list, you must select a line in the list and then define or edit the property in the Edit group. The buttons to the right act upon the active list view.
Display Property
Lists the columns that appear in the grid. To edit an entry, select it and modify the property in the Edit group.
Caption (Definition)
Displays the caption for each column in the grid.
Sort Property
Lists the properties that apply to the item type specified in the Edit View dialog.
Order
Lists the sort orders Ascending and Descending. You can select one.
Type

Add
Adds a new entry at the end of the existing entries and enables the options in the Edit group so that you can edit the new entry.
Insert
Places a new entry above the currently selected entry and enables the options in the Edit group so that you can edit the new entry.
Delete
Removes the currently selected entry from the list view.
Up
Moves the currently selected entry up one line. Moving a row up either moves a display column to the left or moves a sort order up, depending on the row you have selected.
Down
Moves the currently selected entry down one line. Moving a row down either moves a display column to the right or moves a sort order down, depending on the row you have selected.
Edit
Allows you to edit a single entry selected in either the Display Property or Sort Property list views. If you select an entry in the Display Property view, the Edit group allows you to edit the property and the caption. If you select an entry in the Sort Property view, the Edit group allows you to edit the property, order and type.
Property

If you select an entry in the Sort Property view, you can specify the property, its order, and its type.
