Resize window 'copy design properties' tab in the design assistent

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there is a way to resize the window of the copy design properties tab inside the design assistant.

I use this option for my work a lot and as you can see in the picture the model information its not instantly visible (have to drag the sliders to see which parts I want to select to see). I cannot drag the window borders as is possible with normal windows. Also tried ALT+space but that doesn't give a resize option as well. 

Hope someone has a solution! 

Kind regards,

Joris Borra

Hi! I am sorry I don't think there is a way to do that at the moment.

Many thanks!

This is a long-standing limitation in Design Assistant.  Can I suggest something better for this purpose?  Use the BOM Editor in the Assembly environment.  It is much quicker and easier there.  Even if you have to create a temporary assembly just for this purpose, it is still much easier to work with, mainly because you can drag-fill a column, just as you would with Excel.

If that's not clear, or you run into trouble, post back here.

Thanks SBix26! Have been trying this and it works great. I will be using this from now on since I was also able to override properties from locked content center files with the copy design properties. (whoops..)
