Creating Measurement Types

You create measurement types to classify related groups of units of measure.

To create measurement types:

1. From the Studio menu, select New, then select Inventory, then select Resources, then select Measurement Type.

   The Model Entity Wizard appears. An icon for the specification type appears in the upper-right corner.

2. In the Project field, select the name of the project to which the new measurement type should be added.

3. In the Name field, enter a name for the measurement type.

   This is the name that will appear in UIM.

4. (Optional) Select a location.

   By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:

   1. Click the Folder field Browse button.

   2. Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.

   3. Click OK.

5. Click Finish.

   Design Studio creates the measurement type and displays its information in the Measurement Type editor.
