Understanding SML flags
Flags denote the following options that you set when creating a class or group using the smlutility utility. You can set these flags using specific integers in the import files. Flag Description 0 Class with metric unit system 1 Class with nonmetric unit system 2 Group definition 4 Class with both unit systems (metric and nonmetric) 16 Storage class (Abstract option not selected) 32 Assembly class 512 Class that prevents remote classified object creation (Prevent remote ICO creation selected) You can also specify any meaningful combination of these options by adding the flags. For example, 17 denotes a nonmetric storage class (16 + 1). This is equivalent to setting the following options. Specifying a flag of 20 denotes a storage class containing both systems of measure (16 + 4) and is equivalent to setting the following options.
