Option Sets

Each physical or logical/physical model has a FE_Option_Set object associated with it that holds the option settings you select. There is a default that is created by erwin DM and you can create new ones. Though several FE_Option_Set objects can exist in the model, only one can be designated as active at a time.

When the Template Editor expands a template, it takes into account the current settings for the model. In erwin DM, options are not saved to the model immediately upon selection in the user interface. To write the settings to the model and have them available to the Template Editor, you must either save them explicitly with the Save or Save As buttons, or save them implicitly when you click the Generate or Preview buttons, as shown in the following illustration:
