Open the SmartPlant schema configuration file (EFSchema.cfg). For more information, see Open a File Configuration.
The SmartPlant schema configuration file references the SmartPlant schema file (read-only), other schema files (read-only), and your schema extensions file (editable). The default schema extensions file is Extensions1.xml, and when you open EFSchema.cfg, your changes are saved in Extensions1.xml by default. However, you can specify additional extensions files to store your schema modifications. For more information, see Modify a File Configuration.

Click Tools > Schema > Generate Tool Metadatas.
The software generates metadata XML files for each authoring tool that has metadata defined in the SmartPlant schema. The XML file names are in the following format: <ToolID>_meta.xml, where ToolID is the authoring tool's ID defined in the SmartPlant schema. The tool metadata files are placed in the same location as the SmartPlant schema file you opened as part of the SmartPlant schema configuration file.
