How Rules Associated with Valid Values are Stored

Look at the Design Dataset (DDSE) members for the current template in the Members List.

Hint: For a quick way of returning the focus of the Members list from the Catalogue database to the Design database, check that Navigate on selection is selected in the Template Browser and reselect the current template in the browser’s list.

You will see that the Design Data (DDAT) elements holding the properties for the end types (probably DDATs 5 and 6) each own two Attribute Rule (ATTRRL) elements, in addition to the VVALUE elements which store the reference pointers to the end type specifications. These Attribute Rules store the associated rules, in this case for position and orientation, in their AttRule attributes.

When the template is instanced in a design, these associated rules are run and the sub-equipments which they define are positioned and orientated accordingly.
