Dialog Boxes

You can define objects in a dialog box, a table, and often directly in the graphic. All entries are interactive: The graphical input, for example, is immediately reflected in the table and the navigator.

The properties of structural and load objects, as well as the object and design types, can be defined or changed in the corresponding dialog boxes.

The default buttons in the status bar of a common dialog box have the following functions:

Units and Decimal Places Opens Units and Decimal Places dialog box

Jump to Graphics Hides dialog box and shows model in view mode

Cancel Exits dialog box without saving
Apply & Next Saves input without closing dialog box and enables input of next object
