Starting the Type Designer

On Windows operating systems, you can start the Type Designer from the Programs menu.
  1. Select Transformation Extender > Design Studio.
  2. If you are prompted to choose a metadata directory, you can either accept the default or enter a different directory. The metadata directory is a designated workspace where your type tree files will be stored after importing them.

    The first time you open the Type Designer, the Eclipse SDK Welcome page is displayed.

  3. From the Welcome page, choose Workbench (Go to the workbench).
    The Workbench opens into the Transformation Extender Development perspective.

    You must be in the Transformation Extender Development perspective before you can create a type tree.
