Configure UDAs

The UDA Catalog dialog is used to specify which User Defined Attributes (UDAs) are available in each schematic database with which Schematic Model Manager operates.

This dialog can be opened automatically when LEXICON is started (see above), or from the UDA Catalog option on the Schematic Model Manager menu.

Before this dialog is opened, the system checks the number of schematic databases that the user can write to.

If the user has write access to more than one database, the following dialog is displayed, listing these databases:

Select the dictionary database to store the UDA definitions and click OK. The UDA Catalog dialog then opens with information on the Schematic Model Manager UDAs.

If the user has write access to a single dictionary database, the UDA Catalog dialog will open with information on the Schematic Model Manager UDAs, and configures them in the dictionary database that it has access to.

If the user does not have write access to any databases, UDA Catalog dialog opens but a message is displayed indicating that either there are no "writeable" databases, or that the user does not have permission to write to them.
