Creating a Style Library

Note: Style Libraries are actually Representation Libraries (RPLB) in terms of PDMS Database elements. Note that the STYLs that you can reference from an RRUL must be owned by the same LIBY.

Create a new Style Library

1. Navigate to an existing LIBY or use Create > Library to add a new LIBY.

2. Select Create > Style Library.

   You will see the Create RPLB form on which you can give the Style Library a name.

   It is recommended that you give the new RPLB a name that makes it obvious that it is a Style Library.

3. When you press OK on the Create RPLB form, you will see the Style Library form

   This form allows you to define the STYLs to be stored in the library.

   The Style Library form will be considered in two stages:

   • The upper part of the form is concerned with the creation and deletion of STYL elements within the RPLB. It contains a list of all STYLs in the current Style Library. This part of the form is explained in Creating and Deleting Styles.

   • The lower part of the form allows you to set attribute values for the current STYL; that is, for the STYL which is highlighted in the list. This part of the form is explained in Setting Style Attributes.
