Complex Type Property Sheet Mappings Tab

Object mapping is the ability to establish a correspondence between objects belonging to heterogeneous models and diagrams.

The Mapping tab of a complex type property sheet allows you to map the current complex type to PDM or OOM objects.

Select a data source in the Mapping for list. If it is the first time you define a mapping for a complex type, the Mapping for list is empty. Click the Add a Mapping for a Data Source tool and select a data source.

Complex Type Sources Tab

The Complex Type Sources tab allows you to associate one or several abstract data types (in PDMs) or classes (in OOMs) to the current complex type.

You can use the Add Objects tool to select abstract data types or classes from the PDMs or OOMs opened in the current workspace.

Attributes Mapping Tab

The Attributes Mapping tab allows you to define the mapping between abstract data type attributes (in PDMs) or class attributes (in OOMs) and attributes in the current complex type.

Icon	Description
	Add Mapping - To select the attributes in the current complex type that will be mapped to abstract data type attributes or class attributes. Once you have selected the attributes, you can use the list in the Mapped to column to select corresponding abstract data type attributes or class attributes
	Create from Sources - To copy abstract data type attributes or class attributes to the current complex type attributes
	Generate Mapping - To automatically generate a mapping between abstract data type attributes or class attributes and complex type attributes with same name or code in the data source and the current model
