The XML file editor is very similar to the Document of SCIA Engineer. The principle is that the user defines tables describing individual entities of the SCIA Engineer projects and there order. This table-form can be easily previewed (it is in fact identical to the standard SCIA Engineer document). When ready, the final XML file contents can be transformed into the real XML format through the Export function.
The dialogue contains the following parts:
|
Selects the required XML document if more than one document has been created.
|
|
|
Opens the XML document manager where you can create new documents or delete the existing ones. It is a standard SCIA Engineer database manager.

|

This window shows the contents and structure of the currently edited document. This is analogous to the document tree window.
|
|
property window |
Displays parameters related to currently selected item in the XML file contents window. This is analogous to the document property window.
|
|
icon toolbar |
Contains buttons (icons) that perform various actions. The toolbar is identical with the Document window toolbar.
|
|
control buttons |
There are two control buttons: [New] – adds a new item to the XML file contents window. [Close] – closes the XML file editor.
|
|
There is just one action button – it refreshes the preview window of the XML file editor.
|
|
