Element Form
Use this form to view and work on a project element's properties and content items.
The element form contains the available content items for the selected element in the Project Elements pane. For assemblies, contents include performance requirements. For families, sections, and product types, contents include parts, articles, and paragraphs. As an administrator or author and as a member of the project team, you can modify these content items only when the selected project element is in the project. All changes that you make on this form apply on the project level.
This form is view-only for elements that the project team has not added to the project and to contributors. In these cases, use this form to determine whether a project element fits your project requirements prior to adding it to your project specifications.
For more information, see Element Form for Assemblies and Element Form for Families and Product Types.
