Re: Help Installing a .cls file in LyX 2.0.7 (with MikTeX 2.9.4533)

I installed it the same way I did for the previous files. It still
does not appear in the document class. The .bst file ASME provides
works fine but the .cls does not. When I open Lyx and look at ToolTek
InformationLaTeK Classes, the file is there but when I go to select
the document class, it is not there. I have no idea what's going on. I
have attached the provided .cls file. Can anyone tell what's going on?
Thanks.
The class file is the LaTeX half of the equation. To be able to use it,
LyX also needs a layout file for it. This is basically a file that
tells LyX what resources the class file provides. (It is really not
possible for LyX to parse the class file and figure this out for
itself.) The problem, then, is that there is no layout file for asme2e.
Just glancing through the file, it looks to me like a pretty standard
sort of article class. So it will probably be usable, if not perfect,
with the layout file I am attaching. This file should be put in the
directory $USERDIR/layouts/. You can find your user directory by looking
at HelpAbout LyX. Once you have put the layout file there, you will
need to reconfigure LyX by going to ToolsReconfigure, and then restarting.
As I said, this should work to some extent, but it will need tweaking.
Please see Chapter 5 of the Customization manual for how to do that. If
you get it working well, let us know, and we can consider including it
in future LyX versions.
