The picker is displayed in a tree view, where 'Subtrees' can be opened and closed. 'Subtrees' are arranged...

3. Sub-Types (if there are any) as a second level e.g. Drawer;
4. list of related Cabinets.

When you click on a cabinet name, which are from your selected Library catalog, it selects that cabinet into the Tool and displays an image of it at the bottom of the picker. This makes the cabinet selection...
