Use the corridor creation and naming settings in the Edit Feature Settings - Corridor dialog box to change corridor-related settings before you create corridors.
For example, before creating a corridor, you may want to specify the default assembly frequency along tangents, curves, or spirals.
If a closed lock appears in the Lock column for a property, the property is locked at a higher level of the Settings tree. It cannot be changed at this level.
If you change a property value, a check mark is placed in the Override column. This override is also noted in the property table for related objects higher up the Settings tree, where an arrow is displayed in the Child Override column.
