A top level element within the Dictionary (DICT) database is a User Defined Attribute World (UWRL) element which must be created directly below the Dictionary World element.
To create a UDA World element, on the Home tab, in the Create group, select Create from the displayed drop-down list select UWRLD:User defined attribute World. A UWRL element is created and displayed in the Dictionary Explorer.

When a new element is created in the dictionary hierarchy using the Dictionary Explorer and if the Current Element Editor window is open, it automatically updates to display the default attributes for that element.
Note:
If the Current Element Editor window is not open, right-click in any Explorer window (for example, the Dictionary
Explorer) and select Current Element Editor.

After the creation of a new UDA World element, use the Current Element Editor window to populate the attributes in the Current Element Editor.
