Creating an XML document file

Edit online

About this task

The Type Tree Maker uses document files in an XML format (.mts file extension) to create type trees. The following steps describe how to use the Type Designer to export an example type tree (xreftbl.mtt) to an XML document file (.mts).

To create an XML document file (.mts) using the Type Designer:

Procedure

  1. Open a project in the Design Studio.
  2. If not already imported into your work area, import the file system for the Export Type Tree Maker Example. The files are located at install_dir\examples\dsgnstud\ttmaker\export.
  3. Open the xreftbl.mtt type tree. In the type tree editor, right-click on the root type Data and select Export from the context menu. The Export tree to file dialog opens.
  4. Enter a new or accept the default file name and path and click Save. The exported .mts file is saved as Data.mts.

Results

After the export, when you execute the .mts file, the Type Tree Maker converts it into a type tree.
