      <p class="para_topic">To control the visibility of the components in each view in the drawing, you assign visibility attributes to the components in the Visibility tab.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Attributes</div>
      <p class="para_division">Mold Wizard has two attributes that you can assign to a component: &nbsp;MW_SIDE and MW_COMPONENT_NAME.</p>
      <div class="title_division">MW_SIDE Attribute</div>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">This attribute determines the side that a particular component belongs on.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">A component can belong to side A or side B. Choose the A or B value for the attribute.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">If the component should not be shown in any of the views, you can assign the hide attribute.</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <div class="title_division">MW_COMPONENT_NAME Attribute</div>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">This attribute determines the type of the component.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">This attribute is useful for showing only certain component types in a view.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The default component types are listed in the Attribute Value pull-down menu.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">You can change, remove, or add any of the component types. To do this open the following files and make the changes. The changes are incorporated the next time you use the Assembly Drawing function and open the dialog box. </p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <p class="para_division">MW_Drawing_ComponentTypes1</p>
      <p class="para_division">MW_Drawing_ComponentTypes2</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">A component can only be of one type. For example, it can be either a lifter or ejector, but not both. If you first assign the attribute MW_COMPONENT_NAME=LIFTER, then assign MW_COMPONENT_NAME=EJECTOR to the same component, the first one is overwritten by the second and the result is =EJECTOR.</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <div class="title_division">Create/Edit Mold Drawing Dialog</div>
      <p class="para_division">There are two component lists in the Visibility tab:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">All Components</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Selected Components</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <div class="title_division">All Components</div>
      <p class="para_division">The All Components list shows the components not listed in the Selected Components list. This list shows those components that don't match the attribute criteria of the components in the Selected Components list.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Selected Components</div>
      <p class="para_division">The Selected Components list shows the components that have the same attribute value selected in the Attribute Name and Attribute Value pull-down menus.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The default is Attribute Name set to MW_SIDE and Attribute Value set to A. When you first open the dialog box, the Selected Components list shows the name of the components that belong to side A and the All Components list shows the remaining components. If none of the components have the attribute MW_SIDE=A, then the Selected Components list is blank.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Filter</div>
      <p class="para_division">The Filter field filters the display of components in the All Components list. For example, if you enter &quot;side&quot; in the field, the filter limits the component list to only those that contain &quot;side&quot; in their name.</p>
      <p class="para_division">You can select components from the All Components list or from the NX graphics window. If you select from the NX graphics window, only those listed in the All Components list are selectable.</p>
      <div class="title_division">List Dependents</div>
      <p class="para_division">When List Dependents is toggled on, all the dependent components are also selected when you select a component. You can deselect a dependent component from the NX graphics window.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Assign Attribute</div>
      <p class="para_division">The Assign Attribute button assigns the attribute selected in the Attribute Name and Attribute Value pull-down menus to the selected components.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Assigning Attributes</div>
      <p class="para_division">For example, to assign components to the B side:</p>
      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Verify MW_SIDE is selected from the Attribute Name pull-down menu, and select B from the Attribute Value pull-down menu.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Pick the components from the All Components list.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Click the Assign Attribute button. The components are moved from the All Components list to the Selected Components list.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">To assign components to a particular type:</p>
            <ol type="a" start="1">
               <li>
                  <p class="para_item">Pick the MW_COMPONENT_NAME from the Attribute Name pull-down menu.</p>
               </li>
               <li>
                  <p class="para_item">Pick the type from the Attribute Value menu.</p>
               </li>
               <li>
                  <p class="para_item">Select the components from the Selected Components and All Components lists.</p>
