The Symbol Wizard Editor Options pane includes buttons to create Choice Groups, Choices, and Options.
-
A Choice Group represents a unique property of a graphic and appears as the top level property node in the Options view.
-
A Choice represents a possible value of a Choice Group property. Choices are indented beneath the associated Choice Group node in the Options view. Choices are mutually exclusive and only one choice can be selected from a Choice Group for a single configuration of a graphic.
An item shown in the Options view list can be moved by selecting it, and then clicking the Up or Down arrow. If no Choice is specified as the default value for a Choice Group, the first Choice added to the Choice Group is always the default value.
In the example of an centrifugal pump graphic, one possible Choice Group is Orientation for the different configurations of inlet and outlet pipes. The Left, Right, Bottom, and Top choices appear as the associated Choice attributes of the Orientation Choice Group.
