Components Dialog

Open the Components dialog by selecting an object and then clicking the Components edit button. The Components dialog can also be opened from the contextual menu.

Editing the Components Dialog

Besides editing and adding information for items in the materials list and Master List, you can edit and add information directly for some items through the Components dialog. The Components dialog for an item is the materials list entry for an individual item or group of items.

This information in this dialog can be edited just like a materials list or Master List. Entering specific Price, Supplier, Manufacturer, Comments or Typeembeds that information into the item itself. When that item is copied, even into a different plan, component information is transferred as well. This information goes into the materials list.

Components information can also be edited for library items. When an item in a library is placed into a plan the components information goes along with it.

Accessories

In the Components dialog, you can add additional materials list entries for the object being edited. The additional materials list entries are called Accessories and are saved with the item. Accessories added to an object are embedded and appear in the materials list.
