About Family table part

Hi Friends,<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /> I have a doubt about family table part, if u open any family table instance part in pro/E window it's shows that
 
The Pro/e software has a long history of writing certain bits of text to the graphics window.

Originally the graphics windows floated free of all other ui elements, and the title of the window only said Pro/Engineer.

There needed to be a way to quickly sort out which of the many open windows were which. For instances, there were restrictions (still are) as to how they were modified. The same was true for the generic models. (they could not be modified if any instances were in session)

Having a note superimposed on the window kept everyone aware as to which model it was, that was in a particular graphics window. That they were viewing an instance and that it had limitations in how it could be modified.

Writing that note in the graphics window was a lowest common denominator way for the programmers to deal with the various OS's and platforms Pro/e ran on.

Still it would be a welcome enhancement if the environment had a toggle that controlled the display of all such.
