This page deals with the options concerning:

Style
Defines the default behaviors of the items in the property toolbars.
To do so, click the Configure... button and in the Default behaviors of property toolbars dialog box configure the behavior of the default value of an item in the property toolbars. The four families of property toolbars that support this are:
  • Text Properties toolbar
  • Dimension Properties toolbar
  • Numerical Properties toolbar
  • Graphical Properties toolbar
 
The above properties can have the following configurations for default value:
  • Fix value: The default value is fixed irrespective of the current style in the style toolbar, except when an element is being created or is selected. On changing the current style, the properties with fixed value remain unchanged.
    • The following properties do not have a fix value configuration:
      • Frame
      • Symbol
      • Dimension line
      • Numerical display description
    • When the behavior of a property is set to Fix value, the default values are not stored on closing the session.
    • When the behavior of a property is set to Fix value, the default values are applied for all objects supporting the considered property.
      The graphic properties toolbar has more preference than the standard style and impacts several features.
  • Value based on element type: The default value is stored by element type when the current style is changed in the Style toolbar, unless some elements are being created or are selected.
    The stored property values are restored each time a style of the same element type is set as current in the Style toolbar.
    • When the behavior of a property is set to Value based on element type, the default values are not stored on closing the session.
    • When switching to another element type, last overloaded values (default values) of this element type are restored to properties in such mode.
    • The Pattern property does not have the Value based on element type mode.
  • Value based on style: The property values are reset to style values each time a style corresponding to a new element type is set in the Style toolbar, unless some elements are being created or are selected. That is, each time a style is changed in the Style toolbar, the property default value is changed to fit the style property value.
    • For Value based on style mode, default values are automatically initialized to style values.
    • You can overload the default value before creation of an element. In this case, after creating the element, if you clear all selection, default value is restored.
  • Value based on style (No overload): The property values are reset to style values each time a style corresponding to a new element type is set in the Style toolbar. They cannot be modified unless some elements are being created or are selected.
    • For Value based on style (No overload) mode, default values are automatically initialized to style values.
    • You cannot overload the default value before creation of an element.

    The Tolerance Description and Tolerance properties are mutually dependant. Updating one updates the other too.

    For documents created with standards used before V5-R11, the styles are not applicable. For such documents, the Value based on element type or Value based on style behave like Fix value.
    By default, the behavior of each property is Value based on style.

Naming Uniqueness
Defines the naming uniqueness.

Ensure uniqueness of view names
Select this check box to ensure the uniqueness of view names during creation or renaming. 
By default, this check box is cleared.

Ensure uniqueness of capture names
Select this check box to check during creation or renaming, the uniqueness of capture names.
By default, this check box is cleared.

Distinguish SBCS and DBCS characters
Select this check box to distinguish capture or view names in single byte character set (SBCS) and double byte character set (DBCS) formats during creation or renaming.
This means “View.1” written in SBCS format is different from “V i e w . 1” written in DBCS format.
This check box is available for selection only when Ensure uniqueness of view names, Ensure uniqueness of capture names, or both are selected.
By default, this check box is cleared.

Distinguish lower case and upper case
Select this check box to distinguish capture names or view names in lowercase and uppercase during creation or renaming.
This means “View.1” is distinguished from “view.1”.
This check box is available for selection only when Ensure uniqueness of view names, Ensure uniqueness of capture names, or both are selected.
By default, this check box is cleared.
