In the Schema Editor, there are several different methods that you can use to open schema files and begin work. You can
-
Check out the Schema configuration managed file (CMF) from the Desktop Client and launch the Schema Editor using a shortcut menu command. This uses a session file to save the selected CMF file, loaded tool schemas, and user interface settings. To modify the schema or tool mapping in an integrated environment, you should typically use this method of opening files and connecting to the Schema Editor. For more information, see Configuration Managed Files (CMFs).
-
Open the Schema Editor and then open a session file that defines the loaded files and user interface settings. If you don't need to manage the SmartPlant schema using SmartPlant Foundation document management, you are still able to save your settings to a session file on exit from Schema Editor and open the session file to continue work. For more information, see Session Files.
-
Open the Schema Editor and then open a configuration file. If you are modifying the data model for stand-alone SmartPlant Foundation, a configuration file that references the necessary schemas and your schema extensions file is recommended for schema editing. For more information, see File Configurations.
-
Open the Schema Editor and use the File > Open commands to open schemas, tool schemas, and data files. For more information, see Opening Files.
