** First off, notice we have the 2 CRT monitors, a keyboard, and a chair. The next step is to open up the 2D layout that has been partially created. **

** Once you open the Layout, it should look similar to the following image: **
** We have started this Layout off for you to save a little time. If you wish to create it from scratch, feel free. The following steps were performed to get it to this stage:
Create a New Layout Create a 2D drawing of the assembly with 1 Isometric View Export the 2D drawing to IGES Import the IGES file into the 2D layout Create a 3X5 Table Enter in the appropriate text into the table

AUTOMATION FROM A 2D LAYOUT (AU3_WILDFIRE3) Once the Layout has been opened, the first step will be to create some Global parameters to control the assembly. **
** As you can see, this Layout has no parameters associated with it. As a result, we will need to create some parameters to allow us to configure for the following options:
Number of Monitors (Integer 0, 1, or 2) Type of Monitors (String Flat or CRT) Do we want a Keyboard? (Yes or No) Do we want a Chair? (Yes or No)

PARAMETERS Dialog: #Green Plus, Name: [NUMBER_OF_MONITORS], Type: [Integer], Value: [0] PARAMETERS Dialog: #Green Plus, Name: [MONITOR_TYPE], Type: [String], Value: [CRT] PARAMETERS Dialog: #Green Plus, Name: [KEYBOARD], Type: [YES NO], Value: [NO] PARAMETERS Dialog: #Green Plus, Name: [CHAIR], Type: [YES NO], Value: [NO] PARAMETERS Dialog: #OK
** Once complete, your Parameter Dialog Box should look similar to the following image: **
** These parameters should look familiar. They are exactly the same parameters we used to automate the assembly configuration. Once we declare the layout, Pro/ENGINEER will know which parameters match up. **
