Chapter 8 Shortcuts and Object Replications

Creating a replica from the Replicate Objects dialog box

The Replicate Objects dialog box allows you to select one or more objects to replicate from any model or package open in the workspace.

To create a replica from the Replicate Objects dialog box:

1. Select Edit→Replicate Objects (or right-click the diagram background and select Edit→Replicate Objects from the contextual menu) to open the Replicate Objects dialog box.
2. Select a model and, optionally, a package from which to select objects to replicate. All the available objects of the selected model and package are displayed.
   
   
      Include Sub-Packages
   If you want to display all objects in the model and all objects in packages and sub-packages, click the Include Sub-Packages tool in the list toolbar.
   
   
3. Select the objects you want to replicate from the various sub-tabs and click OK.
   
   
      Replicating sub-objects
   If you select an object that owns sub-objects (a table that contains columns, for example, or a class that contains attributes or operations), its sub-objects are also replicated. If you want to directly replicate a sub-object, you must use drag and drop.
   
   
   
   
   The replicas appear in the active model and in the Browser under the appropriate node.
