<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>In the Site/Project/Utility
Component block of the DD wizard, the Electric and Gas Utility Rate Charges
screens each have a disk icon to allow saving of the rate structures. Do
it once then the next time you use the DD wizard, they will be there to select
on the General Information screen. I believe the rate folder files are only
available from within the wizard to be pulled into the wizard created inp
file. I do not believe you can reference them like a library item.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
