What Adams View Creates to Support UDE Definitions
Adams View has features to help with creating UDEs. These include dialogs launched from the ribbon and model browser to help specify content for UDE definitions and define UDE instances as well as behind-the-scenes automation to create the code necessary to enable standard actions for them like delete, modify and copy. This section describes how to use these features to create UDE definitions and add instances of them to models.
