Click on **Cancel** to close the Wizard The \*.lgdcf file will still be checked out. Do not close the Main Dialog yet. 6. Open the \*.lgdcf file under \[PROJECTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantExpressTools\ListConfigurations in a text editor 7. Make your modifications in the file and save and close it 8. Click on **Refresh** in the Main Dialog This will read the \*.lgdcf file again so you see if there are any error in the file. 9. Close the Main Dialog This checks in the \*.lgdcf file.
