In this chapter, the use of products and parts lists is presented. Products can be created in different ways:
Either in the local project settings in the Products tab, or directly via, for example, the Select product option when creating a parts list of an object.
All created products and parts lists are graphically displayed here in an automatically created view (see Figure 1).
Notes or annotations can be added by adding a text object from the toolbar on the left.

Clicking on the menu button with the three dots in the upper right corner of the application opens a drop-down menu. The individual entries are explained below.

Mini-map
With this Mini Map switch an overview window can be shown and hidden, which helps to keep the overview especially with larger product lists.
Search
By clicking on Search, objects can be searched for via a dialog. The figure below shows the dialog with the drop down menu open, which contains all objects used on the modeling surface.

Print & Export
Clicking on Print & Export opens a dialog that can be used to print or save the content as PNG or SVG.

The number between the connecting lines of the respective products indicates how many products of the left product are needed to create the right product.
In this example, one Raw_Product is needed to create the Semifinished_Product product and two Semifinished_Products are needed to create the Finished_Product product.
