5.1 System Menu
The System menu includes all of the commands that operate on
systems. A system is the (upper level) designation for an entire
application, e.g., a plating line system. You can add new systems or
import existing ASD Version 8.x systems. You can modify, edit,
transfer, and remove existing systems, as well as print the system
files. The sections that follow describe the commands in the order in
which they appear on the System menu. For each of the commands,
required data fields are denoted by (R) and optional data fields are
denoted as (O).
5.1.1 Adding a System

sections and racks. Use the following procedure to add a new
