When you create or modify a part, you can select the material and grade from a list that contains all the materials available in the material catalog.
The Select Material dialog box appears.
To include aliases for material grades in the list, select the Show aliases check box.
To see all the properties of materials, select the Show details check box.
Alternatively, if you know the name of the material, you can enter it directly in the Material box in the property pane or in the contextual toolbar.
