Chapter 8 Managing Objects

Creating an object from the Model Explorer

You can create objects from the Model Explorer. Link objects can be created from the Model Explorer only if you have previously defined the required source and destination objects.

Steps To create an object from the Model Explorer:

  1. Right-click a model, package or an object category in the Model Explorer, and select New→object type from the contextual menu.

    The object is created and its property sheet opens.
  2. Type an object name and an object code.
  3. [for link objects] Select a source and a destination object.
  4. Click OK.

    The object node is displayed under its corresponding category in the Model Explorer.

    Note   Associated symbol in diagram
    By default, when you create an object from the Model Explorer, it does not have a symbol. You can create a symbol for the newly created object by pressing the shift key and dragging and dropping the node into the diagram window.
