About the Part-Assembly Classes menu
Notes:
- 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.
