Editor dialogs are very similar to Object Properties dialogs, with the exception they enable working with objects other than Managed Objects (usually special objects or helper objects), such as MACs, Ports, Plugs, Cablesets, and Coordinate Systems. In most cases these dialogs are custom-designed per object type, as most of these objects are quite different both from the data and the UI perspective.

Wizard dialogs
Wizard dialogs are used in order to facilitate tasks that require a number of steps to be done in sequence. These include some of the most complex operations supported by IRM, including DDR import and CAD file import. The wizards provide a simplified step by step guide through what would otherwise be a complex set of tasks.
Wizard dialogs contain standard UI elements that are common throughout IRM, including:
data grids with basic properties,
action buttons for each row entry,
appropriate instructional text labels for each step of the wizard
and appropriate buttons for navigating through the wizard.
