Functionality

The project tree corresponds on the left of the dialogue corresponds to the path where Companies Standard is placed. The organisation of the folders is the same on the tree structure. 

For instance, under "Project" level folders used for IMPACT functionality can be found. Meaning that, if user wants to draw any of the element, he/she can do that without using Regular IMPACT functions. 

For instance, in the "Elements" section all project-based elements (families) or XML definitions can be found without further using Explorer. On the right top part of the dialogue instances from the specific folder can be found. A dialogue part below presents parameter preview of the family - they cannot be changed but previewed.
