The New ADM Class dialog allows you to create a new ADM2Class.

ADM class is a collection of files that define properties and run-time routines for a particular SmartObject or family of SmartObjects.

You can access this dialog from the File menu, by choosing New ADM Class.
Note: The first step in creating a new ADM2Class is to specify a class name in the Name field. Once you provide a class name, all of the file names are automatically generated. This is done to provide (or at least to suggest) a standard file–naming convention that is consistent with the standard ADM classes. The files can then be renamed if needed, but once the new class is saved they can no longer be changed.

The Basic tab on the New ADM Class dialog includes the following fields:
