To Create the Type Layout File
The Type Layout file consists of the type of ejector pin.
1. Create the parameters that describe the type of part in the universal model. For the ejector pin example, there are three types: Regular, Shouldered, and flat.
2. These type parameters should be related to features, through program function, in the universal model. These parameters are assigned to features so they can be turned on and off according to the type of part you want to select.
3. Create the Type_Layout_File parameter in the Last Level Layout file. In this case, it is the Vendor Layout File.
4. Create Layout files for each instance in the Vendor_Layout_File, using the same name as the values found under the Type_Lay_File parameter. In this case, create five New Layout files for each Vendor Layout Type. There are a total of 10 files: 5 for each Vendor Layout file, and 5 for the Metric Vendor Layout File.
