Uses Tab
On the Uses tab you can view, add, modify, or remove child parts of the selected part.
To add or modify child parts, you can use the icons described below, or in draft mode and in an annotation set, you can do the following:
• Add existing child parts directly in the table cell.
• Edit existing data directly in the table cell.
* 
To avoid Out of Memory issues which could result in an unexpected system crash it is recommended that you increase the memory size for the Java applets from 512MB to 1024MB. To do this use the Preference Management utility to navigate to the Java Run Time Parameters for applets preference and change the default setting.
