Setting Attributes on a Library
To set an attribute on a library, in your cds.lib file:
ASSIGN libName DISPLAY attributeName
where libName is the library on which you want to set the attribute and attributeName is the name of the attribute.
The library must be already defined with the DEFINE statement earlier in the file, otherwise the ASSIGN statement is ignored.
The next time you start the Library Manager, the library appears in the display settings specified for the attribute (for example, in a specific color).
In the cds.lib file, you can also set a new attribute that is as yet undefined in a displayPrefs file. The next time you start the Library Manager, this new attribute appears in the Library Attributes list in the Display Settings form. You can then define the display options for the attribute.
