This function is used to create standard parent plates. The standard parent plate data is supposed to exist in a text file which is selected by the user.

The following information about a plate must be given in the file:

plate name

length

width

(real)

thickness

(real)

quality

(max 25 characters)

density

charge

preparation

purchase information

(max 25 characters)

All terms must be given on one line and be separated by a blank or a comma. Strings must be surrounded by ' characters (for example, 'A10' for quality). If a term has been assigned no value, then integers should be given as 0, decimals as 0.0 and strings as ''. There is no restriction on how many plates that can be defined in the text file.

Plates to be used in the restplate handling must have negative length and width.

Below is an example of such an input file.
