Contains general information that controls the way you perform rule checking.
Name
Defines the name of the rule. If the name is blank, the software creates a new rule named New Rule n, where n is the next available number since the last new rule that you created. If you change the name of a rule, select OK and the new name appears in the Rule list.
Description
Identifies the purpose or function of your rule. Rule names must be unique. In addition, you can create an Internet link by entering a URL address, which provides another way to include detailed information about a rule.
Priority
Determines which rule applies when rules conflict with each other. You can define a value from 1 to 100: 1 is the lowest priority. When you place items in a drawing, if several rules apply to the source and target items, the software selects the rule with the highest priority to control placement. When you create a relationship, if several rules apply to the source and target items, the highest priority rule copies property values first, and then each of the other applicable rules copies unpopulated property values in order. Assigning a priority is required.
Prohibit
Specifies whether to prohibit the relationship between the two items defined on the Items tab. When you check the Prohibit box, the relationship this rule describes cannot be created. If you need to, you can create an exception to a broad rule by specifying more specific filters or by using catalog items for Item 1 and Item 2 and checking Prohibit. This option works for freestanding placement as well as placement on a target.
