Connect Technical Class to Object/Design Part Class

Explanation

This activity involves connecting a technical class to a design object or design part class, which enables the connection of an automatic template each time a design object or design part is created. Only one technical class per class is allowed. However, one technical class may be reused and related to more than one asset design class. 

Prerequisites

• A technical class must be created.
• Design object or design part classes must exist.

System Effects

Technical attributes defined on the connected technical class will be inherited by new objects or design parts of the asset design class, to which the technical class was connected, unless a technical class is specifically defined on a design object or design part. Existing objects or design parts will not inherit a connected technical class' attributes, and will retain the technical class group they received at creation, even if the technical class group is later deleted.
