Character Options

• Characteristic Notes pop-up: Click on the pop-up menu to select either Append or Replace. When importing a stereotyped character's Characteristics using the Typecast command, the Characteristic Notes are also transferred. They can either replace the existing notes (entered in the Assign Characteristics window), or be added after the existing notes (Appended). If unsure, choose append to get both sets of notes and later delete the ones you don't want.
