Upper Bound.
Example
2) Check parts with size (width and height)) less than one by selecting
Lower Bound.
User Comp Data
This function highlights and displays the part to the user-defined color that matches
with the entered property information and the value. For example, if a part with a
value of 0.1uF is displayed in green, enter a value for the Title (case
insensitive), 0.1uF for the Comment, set the color in green, and click Apply.Figure 6.
