databases to which you have read/write access, most of the Keynote Editor functions are also available from the Select
Keynote dialog box.
NOTE If you are working in a multi-user environment, it is recommended that you modify a keynote database only when no
other users are accessing it.
The Keynote Editor
The Keynote Editor is a standalone application that lets you create and modify keynote databases. Accessed from the
CAD Manager menu, the Keynote Editor dialog box provides a hierarchical tree view of the currently selected database,
which displays as a root node. For an existing database, you can expand the root node to display groups, and then
expand group nodes to display sub-groups or individual keynotes. Alternatively, you can type text into the Filter box
below the tree view. Clicking the Filter button, pressing
name includes the text you enter.
If you are creating a new database, you add the root node using the New Database button, and then add groups and
keynotes using the buttons along the right side of the dialog box. These buttons (Add Group, Delete, Add Keynote,
Edit, and Specify Keysort) are also available from the Select Keynote dialog box for databases to which you have read-write
access.
Creating a Keynote Database
Using the Keynote Editor to create a new keynote database entails the following basic steps:
Step 1: Create a blank database by specifying a name and location. (For detailed instructions, see
Keynote Database" on page 1975.)
Step 2: Add groups and subgroups to reflect the major and minor divisions within the keynoting scheme. (For
detailed instructions, see
Step 3: Add individual keynotes within groups and subgroups as applicable. (For detailed instructions, see
Keynotes to a Keynote
Step 4: Save the new database.
After saving the new database, you can add it to the list of available databases (see
page 1973) and assign it to projects (see
183).
