Display Files in a List View

You can perform many of the same tasks in the list view that you perform when viewing the Treehouse structure in the graphical user interface:

  • To open a file, right-click the icon in the Type column and click Open.
  • To hide a column, right-click a column heading and clear the column entry. To reorder columns, drag the column.
  • To save an existing document as a new copy, double-click the file name and change the name.

    The file name turns green to indicate that the document is saved as a new document.

    When saving an existing document as a new copy, you must work from the top down. For example, you have an existing assembly document in the hierarchy and you want to save a component of that assembly as a new document. First, you must save the assembly as a new document.
  • To specify the file path for new documents and for files that are saved as new documents, select a destination folder in Default Destination for all new documents or in Destination Folder Path for a selected document. You can click Select the Save to Folder to browse to a file path for a selected document. After selecting a folder, click Apply.

    The file path in Default Destination overrides file paths specified in Destination Folder Path.

    A new document can have the same name as an existing document when the Destination Folder Path is different.
  • To view properties, select a row and click Show Document Properties .
  • To open the Treehouse structure in Microsoft® Excel, click Open in Excel .

Column titles for configuration-specific properties appear in blue. Properties with a white background are associated with the selected file. Properties with a gray background are not associated with the selected file.
