Context

The data file of an assembly.

Comments

The AssemblyType in this statement should match the AssemblyType token in the *DefineAssembly() block of the referenced definition file. If it does not match, MotionView will warn and replace this string with that of the definition file.

This block should contain a *DefinitionInclude() statement to include the definition file for the assembly.

The label in the data file will be used as the default label when adding an assembly using the data file in MotionView.
