Editing a Subpart of an MPP

The subparts of a multipart part (MPP) are listed at the top of the ROD Subpart form. You can change an existing subpart by changing the values for the selected subpart in the form.

Remember, you must make all edits to subparts before entering the last point of your MPP on the layout canvas. You cannot change an MPP after clicking on its last point; instead, you must delete the whole MPP and re-create it. It is safest to save your form values as a template before drawing an MPP in your cellview. Then, if you need to edit a subpart, you can re-create the MPP from the template and use the ROD Subpart form to edit the subpart.

To edit a subpart while you are creating an MPP:

1. In the Create Multipart Path form, click the Subpart button.
   The ROD Subpart form appears.
   Existing subparts are listed in the scroll window at the top of the form.
2. Select the subpart you want to edit.
   The system fills in the fields of the ROD Subpart form with the values of the subpart you selected.
3. Change the values as desired.
4. To make your changes reflect in the data listed for the subpart in the box at the top of the ROD Subpart form, click Edit.
   The system changes the selected subpart data to match the new form values.
5. To make your subpart changes reflect in the MPP in the cellview, click OK or Apply in the ROD Subpart form.
   So far, your changes affect only the MPP in the current layout window. If you want your changes to affect an MPP template, you need to save your changes to the template.
