1 Introducing LEXICON
1.1 What Does LEXICON Do?
LEXICON enables the PDMS system administrator to add new attributes to any element
in the Design, Catalogue and Drafting databases of a project. These User Defined
Attributes (UDAs) are created as elements in the LEXICON database inside the PDMS
project. Because LEXICON databases are project-specific, it is possible to define
attributes to suit individual project requirements or company standards.
Once defined, UDAs may be accessed in much the same way as normal attributes,
including setting values, querying and reporting upon these values. Utilities such as the
Data Output and Project Reconfiguration functions treat UDAs as they would any other
attribute. UDAs can also be used in expressions.
