When an out of specification component reference is selected in the grid, the Out of Specification attribute value is set to True.

Out of Specification
By default, the Out of Specification attribute value is populated when the component specification is assigned. The attribute value can be modified manually.
To modify the out of specification attribute, select the component on the drawing canvas.
Open the Attributes window and navigate to the Out of Specification attribute.

Select True to define the component as out of specification. The Component Specification Reference attribute value is deleted. An out of specification component specification can be assigned using the Assign Component Specification window.

If an out of specification reference is assigned to a component, the application recalculates
the specification reference only if the bore is modified.
