Reviewing the block parameters

There are a few ways to see, scrutinise, and edit (if necessary) the parameters of a catalogue block.

Property table in the Catalogue block manager	The Catalogue block manager contains a vertically oriented window that displays the parameters of currently selected catalogue block.
Property table in the dialogue for editing of a catalogue block	Each dialogue for editing of a catalogue block contains a property table with all the parameters of the edited catalogue block.
Document-style view in thepreview window	This is the most sophisticated kind of display for parameters of a catalogue block. It is accessible from within the dialogue for editing of a catalogue block.

Property table in the Catalogue block manager

The property table in the Catalogue block manager provides for quick overview of parameters of individual catalogue blocks. It is possible to edit some of the parameters, however, this table is not primarily intended for thorough editing of a catalogue block.

If a catalogue block should be modified, the catalogue block editing dialogue should be invoked via button [Edit].

Property table in the dialogue for editing of a catalogue block

The property table in this dialogue provides for both lucid overview of the catalogue block parameters and their straightforward modification.

Document-style view in the preview window

The parameters of a catalogue block can be displayed in a readable way in the preview window. The preview window then displays a table with all the catalogue block parameters sorted in it.

The table is in fact a standard SCIA Engineerdocument table and consequently its format can be adjusted to meet any specific requirements. The adjustment can be done the same way as with any other document table.

This display style can be invoked from within the Catalogue block manager by pressing button [Text output].
