Creating Plates and Shapes

Create plates: set parameters in the dialog box then select a support plane or surface, and if necessary define a contour.
Create end plates: set parameters in the dialog box then select the end of the shape at which you want to place the end plate.
Create shapes: set parameters in the dialog box then select an existing support or define where the shape starts and ends.
Create small assemblies: select a catalog assembly then existing shapes or plates to position it.

NOTE
In R15 and later releases, do not use the Type drop down list in the Shape dialog box to choose a catalog.
To select a different catalog:
You can modify your project resources management (PRM) file.
You can create a new PRM (recommended if you don’t want to modify your PRM because of several resources for your project), and point to the new one before instantiating SR1 shapes.
