About the Part-Assembly Classes menu

Complete functionality is available only if you have purchased the Estimating Add-On Module.

Assembly functionality is available only if you have purchased the Estimating Add-On Module or Service Receivables Add-On Module.

The Part/Assembly Classes menu is accessible by right-clicking in the Part Class menu tree or Assembly Class menu tree in the 9-4 Part/Assembly Classes window.

The following provides more information regarding its functionality:

• The name and number of the part/assembly are displayed in the class tree.
• You cannot create as many unassigned classes as you want without saving. You must save each one as it is created by pressing the Enter key.
• The Fully Expand command expands just one class instead of the entire tree.
• Click the part class you want to add to or change, and then use the Edit menu or right-click menu to create a new class.

Important! The Fully Expand command will not appear unless Collapse All has been selected from the Options menu.

The Part/Assembly Classes menu includes the following commands:

• Fully Expand: Click this command to open every sub-class below the selected class.
• Insert: Click this command to insert a new part/assembly class above the position of your cursor.
• Indent: Click this command to move the selected class to the right (build sub-classes). If the class has “children” or sub-classes, you will be asked whether you want to include them in the move.
• Outdent: Click this command to move the selected class to the left. If the class has “children” or sub-classes, they are automatically included in the move.
• Rename: Click this command to renumber and/or rename the selected class.
