In this tutorial, you use the Project Explorer view, Properties
view, diagram editor, and other user interface (UI) elements to create
a profile tooling project that contains a new profile. You also divide
a profile palette into two palettes, and divide a profile menu into
two menus.
This tutorial might require some optionally installable
components. To ensure that you installed the appropriate optional
components, see the System requirements list.
Learning objectives
The tutorial
is divided into four lessons. In the first lesson, you create a profile
tooling project with a new profile. After you create the project,
you divide a profile tooling palette in lessons 2 and 3. Finally,
you will divide a profile tooling menu. You can use profile tooling
to modify and customize a profile so that when you apply the profile
to a model, you can use custom profile menus and palettes.
Time required
This tutorial should take
approximately 30 minutes to finish. If you explore other concepts
related to this tutorial, it could take longer to complete.
