Linking a Child Object to a Complex Type

XML objects do not support standard link objects. To link a child object to a complex type, you must click the child object tool in the Toolbox and then click the complex type symbol in the diagram. This will automatically create a link between both objects.

The following table lists the allowed links:

Tool	Action
	If you click a complex type symbol with the Element tool, a sequence group particle and a child element symbol are created. You can modify the group particle via its property sheet
	If you click a complex type symbol with the Any tool, a sequence group particle and an any symbol are created. You can modify the group particle via its property sheet
	If you click a complex type symbol with the Group tool, a referencing group is created. You can modify the group particle via its property sheet. You must now select a group for the reference
	If you click a complex type symbol with the Complex Type tool, a second complex type symbol is displayed superposed, but not linked, to the first complex type symbol. A complex type cannot be the child of another complex type
	If you click a complex type symbol with the Sequence tool, a sequence group particle is displayed linked to the complex type symbol
	If you click a complex type symbol with the Choice tool, a choice group particle is displayed linked to the complex type symbol
	If you click a complex type symbol with the All tool, an all group particle is displayed linked to the complex type symbol

Note:

When you cannot click a symbol or an empty space in a diagram, the Pointer displays a forbidden sign. When there is a possibility to create a symbol above, below or next to another one, the Pointer displays an arrow indicating the corresponding direction.
