Creating Forms

Create a custom form to set up the requirements for new versions of the model.

1. Select a model you have set up for DriveWorksXpress.
2. Open the Form pane.
3. Click Add.
4. Enter a Name for the control, for example, Drawn By.

   The tooltip disappears and the background of the name panel changes to white when you finish your entry.

5. Select a Type and enter required parameters:
   • Text Box
   • Numeric Text Box: Enter Minimum Value and Maximum Value
   • Drop Down: Enter Options separated by returns
   • Spin Button: Enter Minimum Value, Maximum Value, and Increment
   • Check Box
6. Check Required if a value must be entered to complete the form. (Spin buttons and check boxes are required by default.)
7. Click and repeat Steps 3 through 6 for each additional control.
8. Test the form.
