Assign
The Assign commands are used to make assignments to concrete columns in a model. Assign commands can be issued in Single, Fence or All mode. Making an assignment to a column will invalidate the design results for the entire column line, requiring the column line to be redesigned.
When a command is issued in Single mode, the arrow cursor turns into a target cursor for the selection of the desired member.
In Fence mode, the arrow cursor turns into the rectangle cursor that allows the selection of multiple columns at a time.
In All mode, the cursor remains the arrow cursor but the assignment is made to all columns.
