Process Parts in the ICN
Various HiCAD functions can be applied directly in the ICN. Examples include changing attributes, deleting, renaming and itemising parts as well as changing the part structure etc.
To process a part or a part list in the ICN, select the part/parts
and activate the context menu by a right-click. Select the required function from the context menu.

Please note:
- The content of the context menu depends on the active tab (2-D or 3-D) and the part type!
- If you right-click the drawing name, the context menu for drawings is displayed.
- ISD has preset he Rename function in such a way that only the part name, but not the article number can be changed. Conversely, you can select Properties > Part attributes
to change the die article number, but not the part name. If you want to unlock both entries - part name and article number - of these functions for editing, you need to change the following files in the HiCAD SYS directory:
