Linking Objects in an XML Model

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

The following tables list the allowed links:

Tool

Element symbol

Group symbol

Complex type symbol







Any

Warning!   A group particle (sequence, choice, all) cannot be created from scratch in a diagram. It must be the child element of an element, a group or a complex type.
