Specifies components for placement. Status, start size, end size, tag, long description, and short description are displayed for each component.
OK
Places the selected component on the drawing.
Default

Using SpecSizeOverride
When the SpecSizeOverride variable is off, sizes are restricted to the specification range. If the selected size is not within the range, OK and Default are not available.
If SpecSizeOverride is on, the dialog box appears if the component size is not in the range. You can then select the needed component even when it is out of range.
The following table summarizes the dialog box behavior.

The order that the components are listed in the specification file is the order that the components appear in the Optional component dialog box. For more information, see Editor.
