By right-clicking in the blank area, you can access a menu that will allow you to access calculators, the subassembly list, and will enable you to refresh the interface to force recalculations.
Values displayed as red text, are formulated values.
- Product Details
- Item Number – Displays the item number . The item number will be automatically populated, but it can be overwritten.

- Upon the initial draw, increasing the quantity will result in multiple products being drawn. After the product has been drawn, increasing the quantity will only increase the quantity for that product.

- Redraw Product - Tick this checkbox to automatically redraw the product when changes are made in the prompts.
