Specifying Component Name and Description Options at the System Level (2025 SP3)

You can use Override document level tree display to specify options in the Component Name and Description dialog box at the system level.

When enabled, the system level options override the document level options for the component names in the FeatureManager design tree. The system level options do not overwrite the document level options in the document.

To specify component name and description options at the system level:
  1. Open a model.
    For example, in the FeatureManager design tree, the component name shows the component name, the configuration name, and the display state name.

  2. Click Tools > Options > System Options > FeatureManager.
  3. Select Override document level tree display.
    Selecting Override document level tree display disables the options in the Component Name and Description dialog box at the document level.
  4. Click Component Name and Description.
  5. In the Component Name and Description dialog box, select different options.

    For example, under Primary, select Component Description. Under Secondary, clear Configuration Name and select Configuration Description. Under Tertiary, clear Display State Name.

  6. Click Apply and then click OK to close the dialog box.
  7. Close the System Options dialog box.
    In the FeatureManager design tree, the component name shows the component description and configuration description.

  8. In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the assembly and click Tree Display > Component Name and Description.
    The options are disabled at the document level when Override document level tree display is selected.
