The indicated sections of the Column Section Type Editor are detailed below:

  1. The top row of the Column Section Type Editor is the Typical row. This row can be used to change a Section Type property for all Column Section Types listed at once.

  2. Each row in this portion of the Column Section Type Editor corresponds to a Section Type created in the Section Type Manager. All properties in each row are editable within this window. Properties that do not have a value assigned in a particular Section Type row are not applicable to that Section Type and cannot be edited.

  3. If the Automatically update design section name option is checked, the name of a Section Type will be automatically updated if the A or B property of that Section Type is changed. If this option is unchecked, the name of the Section Type will not be updated automatically.

    Note: The Section Type name will only update if it matches the default formatting for each type of column. The default format for each Section Type Shape is as follows. Square: AxB, Rectangular: AxB, Column: A" Circular.
