iMate Mapping
According to the selected category, a list of required iMates is displayed for creation or mapping. Each row represents an iMate which can be created as guided by the image or selected from available model iMates. When you select the row, the section of the list highlights turning the descriptor blue, placing the pick indicator to the left.
When the iMate is successfully mapped, a check mark is indicated at the beginning of the selection row.
On the pull-down selection list, there is a list of available iMates presently in the model to select from.
