Create a list of global option definitions

Global options are a convenient way of defining a fixed set of allowed values.

Examples of global options are Color = white, stainless and Appliance Width = 500, 600. You can also set a range such as Angle >=0, < 360. You can then reference these global options in other modules. You can create a list of item identifiers that contain global option definitions and update the PSM_global_option_item_ids system preference to include the new item identifier. By default, the list is empty. These definitions can be reused when authoring variant modules.

Example PSM_global_option_item_ids= 000400 000410 000420 To include the new item identifier: Procedure Create an item to store the global options. Create the desired global options and allowed values. Update the PSM_global_option_item_ids preference to include the new item identifier. In Structure Manager, display the Create Option dialog box and verify the new item and options are shown in the Based On drop-down list.
