1. From the Certification ribbon, Method tool group, click the Assign tool.

   • If this tool is entered from another tool with a designpointset selected, then the selection is maintained.

   • By default, the config option is derived from the last created designpointset entity.

   • Use advanced selection.
   • Right-click on the Method selector and choose Create method from template.

     The same dialog used to create methods opens with the current category (config) filtered. Click Create to create designpointmethods and populate the method selector.
