Create a New Facility

VISAC allows the user to create new facilities based off of one of the existing library facilities or another user-created facility. Due to the complexity of facility models, starting from scratch is probably not likely for most users.

To create a new facility, simply select the menu option Facility/Start a New Facility. VISAC will ask which existing facility to use and what the name of the new facility will be. VISAC then copies the models from that base facility over into a new directory (under UserFac\) with the new name. The user is then free to edit the new facility as much or little as he wants. The facility will remain open to editing as long as no projects exist that use that facility.

All of the user defined facilities are stored in the VISAC area, under the User Facility Directory. This directory can be set using the VISAC menu System/Set VISAC Paths. Normally, this path will be something like Program Files\VISAC\UserFac\. This path is left open to change so that advanced users could maintain different sets of user defined facilities.
