Chapter 11 Managing Object Replications


Object replication vs. shortcut

You use shortcuts when You want to reference an object in the same model or in different models or packages in order to share this object representation between models or packages. The shortcut is not a local copy of the target object therefore it cannot be modified independently from its target object.

You use object replications when You want to have a local copy of an object that will allow you to reuse the definition of the original object in the same or different models or packages while preserving the link with it. Besides, an object replication can also diverge from its original object and be customized according to your needs.
