- Under the feature library name, in the left-hand part of

the Feature Library Editor window, select the first feature
name, right-click on it and select

Insert Attribute

. A new

dialog box opens where you can define the first attribute
for the feature:

- Enter a name for this attribute in the

Attribute Name

field

- Indicate the type of the attribute. There are three types of

attributes: Menu, Numeric and Text. If the attribute con-
sists of a list of statements that the field operator will
have to choose from, check

Menu

, if it refers to a number

the field operator will have to enter, check

Numeric

, and if

the feature refers to a description or any other alphanu-
meric string that the field operator will have to type in,
check

Text

.

- Then click

Add

to add another attribute for the feature, or

Close

after the last attribute has been defined.

- Select the second feature on the left, right-click on it,

select

Insert Attribute

and then define all the feature’s

attributes as explained above. Click the

Close

button

when it’s done.

- Repeat the above steps until all the attributes have been

defined for all the features present in the library
