This menu item allows you to use special tools associated with the operation of

the editor.

7.3.3.9.1 Edit Instruction Categories

Edit Instruction Categories allows the user to create one or more custom list

of instructions. If a category of instructions is selected from the Instructions

Panel, the entire list of instructions in the Editor will be filtered to show only

those instructions in the selected category. (Note: The default categories

cannot be edited or deleted.)

To create a new list, first select the

Add New Category button and provide a

name for the user-created category. Next, ensure the category name is selected

and click the

Edit Category button to bring up the Select Instructions dialog

(shown below). Instructions that should be included in the new list are

indicated by a check in the box to the left of the instruction name. This feature

allows the user to display a filtered instruction list containing only those

instructions most often used. Press

OK to save the list.
