Generating Model Objects

You can define your own model-to-model object generation commands. You can define as many commands as you need, and generate any of your model's objects as any kinds of objects in any other model. The generated objects are linked to the original objects and can be resynchronized at any time.

Before you can generate model objects, you must define the details of the generation (see Defining Simple Object Generations)

Note: This procedure deals with generating one or more object types to another model. For information about generating your entire model to another model, see Generating Models).
  1. Select Tools > Generate Objects > Menu command name to open the Object Generation Options window for the generation that you have previously defined (see Defining Simple Object Generations or Defining Advanced Object Generations).
  2. On the General tab, select a radio button to generate a new or update an existing model, and complete the appropriate options (see Model Generation Options).
  3. [optional] Click the Detail tab and set any appropriate options.
  4. [optional] Click the Target Models tab and specify the target models for any generated shortcuts.
  5. [optional] Click the Selection tab and select or deselect objects to generate (see Adding an Item from a Selection List).
  6. Click OK to begin generation.
