Commands affected: MATLIST
This is where you set the width for the material key list block. Enter the

keys are in your drawing but will always be the width specified here.
Commands affected: MATLIST
When the material list is generated it creates a block with the table and

different width for the list in the APS configuration.
Commands affected: MATLIST
Check this box if you would like a border line drawn around the
material keys. If you enter text for the title in the "Text for
title" box described above a line will also be drawn between the

title you may then select the color you would like the border to be drawn
(how
to select colors) and the lineweight that you would like for the
lines.
Commands affected: MATLIST
Select "Yes" if you would like section headings for each of
the 16 material key sections used in the drawing. Only the headings for

the material key definitions listed one after the other with no breaks.
The title for each of the section headings can be set by pressing the
button.
