To Create the Quilt Layout File
1. If the Perform_Cut Parameter was set to Yes in the Main Layout File, a quilt parameter should have been created in the Unit Layout file. Two values for the Quilt_Layout_File should have been created - one for inch and one for metric.
2. Create two Layout files, using the same name as the two values for Quilt_Layout_File parameter in the Unit_Layout_File. Directory Name_Quilt_MM for metric instance and Directory Name_Quilt_INCH for inch instance.
3. For each new layout, create two parameters for each value you want to control in your quilt.
4. The first of these two parameters should have the same name as the parameter you created in your universal model to drive a certain value of the quilt. For Example: If you have a diameter value on your quilt, and you related a parameter equaling it called Quilt_Diameter in your universal model, you need to create a parameter in my Directory Name_Quilt_(Inch or Metric) Layout named Quilt_Diameter_UI. If you add the letters UI to the end of the Parameter, the catalog program recognizes it as a dimension you want to control using the catalog.
5. Set this new dimension Parameter with a default value and add it to the Param_Table.
The second of these two parameters should have the same name as the first parameter with the addition of the word _Header on the end of it. This allows the Catalog program to create a selection for the desired driven dimension
6. Set the value of the second parameter, as you would like to see it in the dialog box. For Example: In the second parameter described earlier, it would be named Quilt_Diameter_Header, and you could set the value as (Diameter). When you select the Quilt Cut option in the catalog, you now see a Diameter option with your default value underneath it.
7. Make sure you create both of these parameters for each dimension you want to control in the catalog engine.
8. Perform step three for both Inch and Metric layouts.
