In the Configure column, the Options buttons open a dialog box that feature settings for each importer (e.g., Attributes and Tessellation Level and Type). Each importer has its own set of unique options. A few examples of common option settings are

• Whether or not to import metadata from the native CAD file.
• Whether or not to search recursively in specified directories.
• The precision of trimesh approximation.
• Document types: 3D or 2D or both.
• Whether or not to import PMI data.

When you mouse over a setting title, an description of the setting is displayed in a tooltip.

After you have made desired changes in the dialog box, be sure to click the OK button.
