Customizing the Dictionary of Types: Example

The capability for customizing the Dictionary of Types is available only on the Windows platform.
To customize the dictionary of element types provided with the Plant Layout product, you need to run two scripts:

PSLNomenAccessFeat.CATScript reads the existing dictionary and writes it to a preformatted Microsoft* Excel file.

PSLNomenBuildFeat.CATScript takes a properly formatted Excel file and generates a new dictionary.

The example below illustrates how the type Work Cell is added to the list of types available when you create an area.
