Inherit Additional Parts from Design Part

Explanation

The design part with defined consists of parts serves as a template for creating additional parts for the design object. Both the design part and its additional consists of parts can be inherited by the design object provided that the Can have Additional Part class relation is set between all involved classes. If the design object's additional part registry is empty, the inheritance of the consists of parts on the design part takes place automatically, at the point of design part connection to the design object. In any other instance, the inheritance option can be performed manually in order to replace the existing list of additional parts with the design part consists of parts structure.
