This template can be used as an alternative to the dialog available by clicking Material Library on the Home tab. The purpose in either case is to add new materials to the Material Library for use in creating new Process Parameter (PRM) files. For more information on the use of this file, see the Process Parameters topic.
#
# This file can be used as a template to define your own
# material properties for PRM file generation.
