Create empty header files for a staging area

An empty header file contains only the header of a multi-class configuration file, for example, a drawing part list header, a standard material, and so on. You can modify the empty header file as per requirements. Use the empty header file to import data using the s22050 Data Import screen.

Scan the multi-class configuration files available in the location defined in the Configuration Folder field, create a folder titled HeaderFiles, and generate empty header files for a staging area. If multi-class configuration files are not available, only the HeaderFiles folder is created. To create multi-class configuration files, see Create multi-class configuration file templates for a staging area.
