Reload list - fill the drawing list.
The drawing list is filled from all drawings in the model or from select drawings in the Document manager. So you can filter drawings in the Drawing manager and set numbers in the application Drawing Numerator.
Up, Down - change the position of selected drawing.
Set - set numbers to selected drawings from start number. Start number is set in the Start number field and increased by 1 for every next drawing. If the start number is string value, this value is set to selected drawings. The value is written to the drawing attribute specified in the config file.
Clear - clear numbers of selected drawings
Set - set prefixes to selected drawings. The value is written to the drawing attribute specified in the config file.
Clear - clear prefixes of selected drawings.
Set (auto) - set prefixes to selected drawings automatically. The program is automatically determined what assemblies are on each selected drawing. The value of the prefix is brought from the assembly attribute specified in the Assembly attribute for prefix field and is written to the drawing attribute specified in the config file. If there are several assemblies on the drawing, prefix values are listed and divided by comma.
