Click OK to create the following database hierarchy and display the Category window.

The above screen shot shows a populated Cable Core window which would result in the following database hierarchy:

The SCOM here would typically reference a "ccorse" (Cable Core Set), if more than one cable core set is required, users can copy the SCOM using the normal "Copy" routine in the category grid:

then using normal "Copy" from main menu for the CCORSE element in the category, user would then use the category window to re-reference the new CCORSE element.

Once defined all elements can then be used in other catalogue element structures, for example GPARTS, TABGRO and subsequently used in MODEL using appropriate selection techniques.
