Customizing the Dictionary of Types: Procedure

	This task explains how to customize the list of types that are displayed when you create any of these elements: Areas Routing elements Item reservations Distribution systems Network reservations Grids
	The capability for customizing the Dictionary of Types is available only on the Windows platform.
	To accomplish this procedure, you must have installed Microsoft Excel 97 or later version. You should be familiar with the basic editing features of Excel, as well as with the file navigation and file editing capabilities of your system.
	1.	Copy the following files from \intel_a\code\command to a drive or directory for which you have read and write permissions: PSLNomenAccessFeat.CATScript PSLNomenBuildFeat.CATScript PSLNomenAccessFeatTemplate.xls
	2.	Start CATIA.
	3.	From the menu bar, select `Tools -> Macro -> Macros`.
	4.	From the Macro In field, select `External File`.
	5.	Click the `Select` button, and use the Windows dialog box to navigate to the appropriate file.
	6.	Select the file PSLNomenAccessFeat.CATScript and select OK.
	7.	Edit PSLNomenAccessFeat.CATScript as follows: Define the path strEXCELTemplateFileName to point to the directory to which you copied the files in Step1.
	8.	Save and close the file.
	9.	Select `Run`. Microsoft Excel is launched, and a file is created.
	10.	Edit the Excel file to add or delete entries, as appropriate.
	11.	Save the Excel file with a unique name.
	12.	From the CATIA menu bar, select `Tools -> Macro -> Macros` again.
	13.	Select the `Select` button, and select the file PSLNomenBuildFeat.CATScript .
	14.	Edit PSLNomenBuildFeat.CATScript as follows: Define the input path strEXCELInputFileName to point to the Excel file you saved in Step11. Define the output path strCATIAV5FeatOutputFileName to point to \intel_a\resources\graphic\CATArrNomenclature.feat.
	If you do not have write permissions for this output path directory, you can define a temporary location. Contact your system administrator to move or copy the file to the correct location after it has been created.
	15.	Save and close the file.
	16.	Select `Run`. The output file is created in the directory you specified. If you defined a temporary location for the file, it must be moved or copied to \intel_a\resources\graphic\CATArrNomenclature.feat before the modifications can take effect.
	The modifications will take effect when you restart CATIA.
