Linking Objects in an XML Model

XML objects do not support standard link objects. To link a child object to a parent object, you must click the child object tool in the palette and then click the symbol of the parent object in the diagram. This will automatically create a link between both objects. See the following table for allowed links:

Tool	Element symbol	Group symbol	Complex type symbol

Any

	No link	No link	No link


All

Tool	Sequence symbol	Choice symbol	All symbol

Any			No link
			No link
	No link	No link	No link
			No link
			No link
All	No link	No link	No link

Warning!

A group particle (sequence, choice, all) cannot be created from scratch in a diagram. It must be the child element of an element, a group or a complex type.
