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.
