Changing the default table columns

By default the part table will show the Part ID, Part title, Part type, Section ID, Gauge and Mat ID columns. If you want to change which columns are shown by default then change the columns shown to be the ones you want and press Save Settings in the View... popup. This will automatically add a preference primer*part_table_columns to your home oa_pref file with the appropriate columns.
