1. Profiles
2. Plates
3. Assemblies
4. Groups

2. Family (in the alphabetical order)
3. Within a family positions are presented in the alphabetical order of designations

With theGroupsoption selected

This mode offers multi-level presentation of elements; it is reflected in this mode which parts are assigned to which assemblies and groups. Positions are presented in the form of a tree with the following levels:

1. Position types; the order of the items: groups, assemblies, profiles, plates, user parts, schemes

For the types Groups and Assemblies successive sub-levels are created:

for groups: elements included in a given group

for assemblies: single parts included in a given assembly.

This tab presents a list of all user-defined positions; the structure of positions and documents is shown in a form of a tree (see the drawing below).

The icon of a document included on the list is presented as follows:

• in yellow - the document is active on the edition layout
• as a red slash - the element of a structure model for which the document has been prepared, has changed
• in gray - the document has been exported to a separate dwg file.

If the icon of a view provided on the list is shown in bold, it is an active view.
