The entire rule type of the Interactive Product Configurator is represented in a XML file.

The complete behaviour like part selection, displaying the specific available parts, definition of conditions, etc. is represented in this file.

It is stored under "..\data\23d-libs\'catalog name'".

Before the rule type can be set up, all parts have to be created by following certain guidelines.
