Show Component Descriptions

You can display component descriptions in the FeatureManager design tree in part, assembly, and drawing documents and in the ConfigurationManager of parts and assemblies.

1. At the top of the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the part, assembly, or drawing name, and select Tree Display > Component Name and Description.
2. In the dialog box, select Component Description.
   The FeatureManager design tree displays the component names.

   • By default, component descriptions are the same as the component names and are not displayed. You must specify a new component description in the component part file for it to appear in the FeatureManager design tree. See Properties - Custom and Configuration Properties.
   • Component descriptions appear only if Description (the default) is selected in Custom property used as custom description in the General system options. You can select a different item for Custom property used as custom description, but you must set a value for that custom property on the Custom tab of the Properties dialog box. See Properties.
