create a new ItemType from Part

Hello, There are several benefits to using Extended Classification properties over the old approach of adding all of the properties for all classifications to an ItemType.

1. Non-administrative users can define new classifications without needing to expose them to the ItemType itself
2. The same xClass properties can be re-used on multiple different ItemTypes and classifications
3. Users can easily perform class-based searches through the UI

Additionally, xClass properties are set through a special field that you can add to a Form. Not only does this field, contain all of the classification-specific properties to one location on the Form, but it also prevents the need to re-load the form after a user picks a specific property. Chris
