Viewing CAD Document’s Model Item Structures
On the information page for a CAD or dynamic document that contains Model Items, you can select the Model Item Structure tab to display a hierarchical table that allows you to see the tree structure of an object and its components without having to open their authoring application.
The Model Item Structure tab in the information tab for a CAD document contains tools for displaying and editing structures. When you select the Model Item Structure tab, the area below the toolbar is divided into panes. The left pane displays the structure tree, while the right pane contains information organized into tabs. The following table lists these tabs:
