The Design Reference Manual describes all the Design commands in detail. It also describes how the Design database is structured, the Design database elements and their attributes.
Design is normally used interactively. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides discipline-based applications that help you to create, check and report on the model. How to use the applications is described in user guides and on-line help.
This manual is written for experienced users of Design who need to use commands; for example, to write batch macros or to customize the GUI. If you are going to customize the GUI, you will also need to refer to the Software Customization Guide and Software Customization Reference Manual for information about PML, the AVEVA programming language.
