    • <Name> – a non-editable field that is populated with component Designator information that depends on the chosen naming scheme.
      • Visible – when this option is enabled, the designator is displayed.
      • Lock – when this option is enabled, this designator cannot be reassigned during annotation.
  • Value
    • <Value> – a non-editable field that is populated based on the information for the component. The information presented will depend on the chosen naming scheme.
      • Visible – when this option is enabled, the value is displayed (non-editable).

      • Lock Physical Designator – select this option to specify use of a custom physical designator, which is entered in the associated text box. This is the also option that is set when graphically editing a designator in a compiled document view.

        • Global Index – a non-editable field that is populated based on the logical designator information for the component. The information presented will depend on the chosen naming scheme.
        • Physical Designator – a non-editable field that shows the calculated physical designator based on the chosen naming scheme that will be assigned when you click OK.​
