The data displayed in this pick list is stored in a database in generic Access format. The file name is wd_picklist.mdb and can be edited with Access or from Add/Edit/Delete along the bottom of the dialog box for the pick list. The AutoCAD Electrical toolset normal search path sequence is used to locate this file.

Both schematic and panel layout symbols can be included in the pick list database. Only schematic or panel entries are displayed at a time depending on whether the routine is called from the Schematic or Panel ribbon tab.

Sort by	Specifies how to sort the record list. You can sort by description, catalog number, or manufacturer code.
Add	Opens a dialog box for creating a record. If the footprint block is not in an AutoCAD or an AutoCAD Electrical toolset search path, include the part of the path to append to one of these search paths (or you can enter the full path). If the new record is like an existing record, highlight the existing record before you click Add.
Edit	Opens a dialog box for editing a record. Highlight the record and click Edit. Modify the record in the displayed dialog box.
Delete	Removes an existing record.
