The list of available prefix configuration profiles
The left side of the window lists all available profiles separated into two main groups:
- Advance: This category includes all the prefix profiles available in Advance Steel. Their properties cannot be modified.
- User: This category includes a copy of all the prefix profiles from the Advance category. The properties can be modified.
The prefix profiles are grouped according to the elements for which are defined (Beams, Plates, Folded plates, Special parts).
For each model role it is possible to assign different prefixes for single part and assembly part.
