Changing a Value in the Part Table

Changing a Value in the Part Table

To change the value for a field, select the parts that you want to change and then right click on the column that you want to change. This shows a popup menu allowing you to change the value. e.g. below Section ID is being changed for part 5.

To change the value, type in the new value in the text box. Alternatively, if the field refers to an item (e.g. section ID, material ID) you can use Select to choose the item or Create / Edit to make a new item or edit the item respectively. Note for materials in the table there is the option to Select from table . This restricts the selection to only materials currently referenced by parts on the table.

Sketch will draw the currently selected parts.

If the table is used to change Part colour, transparency, blanking and drawing mode the new settings are applied immediately. For other values (e.g. title, gauge etc.) the values will not be updated for the parts until the Apply button is pressed. To indicate that a value has changed but not applied it will be shown in red. e.g. below, the section ID for part 5 has been changed to 200 and so is shown in red. Changes can be undone by pressing Undo .

If the same section card applied to multiple parts and the user changes a value (such as gauge) on one part (or some but not all of the parts) PRIMER will create a copy of the original section card and modify that.
