Adding a child object to a group particle

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

WARNING!

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

Pointer indications
When you cannot click a symbol or an empty space in a diagram, the Pointer displays a forbidden sign (See complex type in Tool column).
