Every design property in the Design Requirements section and every model property in the Model Data section can be made visible in the Display Setting window inside HyDraw.

1. Open the HyDraw Library Manager and select the category of the properties you want to edit in the Manage Properties section.
   For example, Component Model Properties.
   
2. View a list of ALL Model Properties in the database.
   Check the property you want to make visible by clicking 'Display in Drawing'.

NOTE:
       1.  A property is assigned to a Component Type.
       2.  A Component Type is assigned to a symbol.

NOTE:
For a few HyDraw symbols, some basic shapes are not assigned with Interaction Style = “Box (2-dimensional)”. This does not allow the unassigned shapes to resize.

To enable the Interaction Style option,
       1.  Select the required symbol.
       2.  Unlock the size.
       3.  Right click and click Behavior from the Format option.

       4.  Right click and select Behavior from the Format option.
       5.  In the Behavior dialog box, select 'Line (1-dimensional)' in the Interaction Style
            option.
       6.  Select 'Box (2-dimensional)' in the Interaction Style option.
       7.  Click OK
       8.  Click OK in the Edit Master Symbol dialog box.

To modify the symbol only in the drawing,
       1.  Insert the required symbol into the drawing.
       2.  Unlock the size.
       3.  Click HyDraw V415 > Modify Symbol > Edit in Place
       4.  Click Select All or press 'Ctrl+ A' on the keyboard.
       5.  Right click and select Behavior from the Format option.
       6.  In the Behavior dialog box, select 'Line (1-dimensional)' in the Interaction Style
            option.
       7.  Select 'Box (2-dimensional)' in the Interaction Style option.
       8.  Click OK
       9.  Close the Edit In Place window.
             Now you can resize the symbol as required.

When you insert a Parts List by selecting all the items into a drawing, then delete the blank items using the Edit Parts List command. Then, on updating the Parts List, the item IDs for some items change to a default value "1" even though they have different item IDs in the actual schematic.

Use Microsoft Visio : Edit menu > Select Open Group.

1. Select the Parts List in the drawing.
2. Microsoft Visio : Edit menu > Select Open Group
    The parts list is opened in a separate window.
3. Select and delete the rows you want to remove from the parts list.
