### To View or Modify an Existing Fixture Definition

1. Select the
   Insert | Hardware Definition | Fixture menu option to access the Create/Modify Fixture dialog box.

2. Select the Fixture Points tab.

3. Select a fixture definition from the Available list. This list contains all existing fixture definitions on the fixture server. Information for the selected fixture definition appears in the Fixture Points tab and PC-DMIS inserts the current date into the Modification Date box.

4. Make modifications to the dialog box as needed. If you need to edit a point, select the point name in the list and its information will be displayed in the Points area. The Add Point button now reads Save Point. Change the point information as needed and then click the Save Point button. The information in the list will be updated with the new data. To delete a selected point, click the Delete Point button.

5. If desired, input your name or operator ID in the Modified By box in the Fixture area. This provides a handy way for others to see who last modified the fixture.

6. Click the Apply button. PC-DMIS updates the fixture definition on the server. As discussed earlier, if you only click the Save button, then the data only gets saved to disk.

Note: If you have a LOADFIXTURE command in your part program and want to edit the fixture, place your cursor on the LOADFIXTURE command, press F9 on your keyboard and the Create / Modify Fixture dialog box will come up with your fixture definition displayed.
