      <hr noshade="true">
      <p class="para_topic">The Mold Base_reg.xs4 spreadsheet contains two types of sheets:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Catalog registry sheets</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Data base registry sheets</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <div class="title_division">Catalog Registry Sheets</div>
      <p class="para_division">The tabs on catalog registry sheets are ENGLISH and METRIC. The ENGLISH sheet contains the listing of the mold base catalogs that are available for a Mold Wizard project built in inch units. The METRIC sheet contains the listing of mold base catalogs that are available for a Mold Wizard project built in metric units.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The mold base libraries are separated so that a project built in metric units accesses the METRIC page of the Mold Base_reg file and configures the dialog to list only the metric catalogs. The ENGLISH and METRIC page names are hard-coded into the Mold Wizard Mold Base Management System and must always be used.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Catalog Registry Sheet Formatting</div>
      <p class="para_division">The CAT_NAME column contains the listings of catalogs that are available in the Catalog pull-down menu of the Mold Base Management dialog box. </p>
      <p class="para_division">When you select the desired catalog from the menu, the Mold Base Management System reads the corresponding cell from the SHEET_NAME column. For example, if the HASCO catalog option is selected, the Mold Base Management System finds the cell to the right of the HASCO cell, HASCO_M, and searches for a sheet named HASCO_M. The MMS then loads the information from the HASCO_M sheet to provide options for the mold bases available for that catalog.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Data Base Registry Sheets</div>
      <p class="para_division">Data Base registry sheets organize the file system path locations for:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Mold base assemblies</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Data base files for each mold base</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Bitmap images for each mold base to be shown in the Mold Base Management dialog</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <table border="0">
         <tr>
            <td valign="top" align="left"><img align="left" src="../graphics/note.gif" alt="Note" title="Note"></td>
            <td valign="bottom" align="left" width="100%">
               <div class="para_note">
                  <p class="para_note_body">NOTE: You can use Microsoft Excel as your spreadsheet program.</p>
               </div>
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
      <div class="title_division">See Also</div>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Xess-Excel Conversion</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <div class="title_division">Registering Data Paths, Model Files, Spreadsheet Files, and Bitmap Files</div>
      <p class="para_division">In this example, we use the registry sheet for the HASCO European mold base catalog in the Mold Base_reg.xs4 file. The HASCO European registry data is located on the &quot;HASCO_E&quot; sheet of the Mold Base_reg.xs4 spreadsheet file. Notice the sheet-tab HASCO_E at the bottom of the spreadsheet.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Formatting</div>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The TYPE column lists the menu options that are selectable from the Type pull-down menu in the Mold Base Management dialog box. </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The CAT_DAT column contains the path and file name of a mold base spreadsheet that configures the Mold Base Management dialog to the data in the corresponding option from the TYPE column.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The MODEL column contains the path and part file name that is cloned for use as the mold base model. This column also corresponds to the TYPE column.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The BITMAP column contains the path and bitmap file listing that is shown in the Mold Base Magagement dialog to illustrate the different Type configurations. This column also corresponds to the TYPE column.</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <p class="para_division">The bitmap files must be .bmp files in 16-color format.</p>
