  1. Click the icon. The first "Check Editor" dialog box is displayed.

  2. Replace the Check.1 default name  with Cylinder_Check, then click OK. The Check Editor box  is displayed. It is similar to the Rule Editor. The Incremental box must be unckecked.

  3. Select the Information item in the Type of Check list.

  4. Enter a string in the message field (for example: Pad too short). This message is to be displayed whenever the statement specified by the check is not fulfilled.

  5. Enter the following statement into the edition box: PadLength > 20mm

  6. Click OK to confirm the check creation. The Cylinder_Check relation is added to the specification tree. A green icon in the specification tree means that the check is fulfilled. No message is displayed.

  7. Change the Pad limits so that PadLength <= 20mm.  The Cylinder_Rule relation is re-applied. An information window displays the new PadLength and Pad internal diameter values. Then, you are warned by another window ("Pad too short")  that the check is no longer valid.  The check icon in the specification tree turns to red.
