5.12.4.4.2. Building/editing class system

In the first step, you set up the class structure. In the second step, you create characteristics (see next section ).

Proceed as follows:

Select the Features [Attributes] tab.
Under Filter, specify the class type for which the class structure is to be created (e.g. classes [Classes] or connection points [Connection points] ).
The selection options depend on which class types [Types of classes] were created when the class system was created on the Create class system -> Restrictions [Limits] Tabbed page dialog page.
Set up the class structure with the following context menu commands:
- Add class... :
  (The first step in the empty area)
  - Parent class: Shows - if available - the name of the parent class.
  - Type: Select the desired class type from the list box.
  - Internal Id [Internal id]: Is entered automatically.
  - ID: Is entered automatically.
  - Name (selected default language):
    Enter the desired name. This term will be displayed in the class tree.
- Add subclass [Add subclass...]..:
- Edit class [Edit class...]...: For existing classes, you can make changes with Edit class [Edit class...]... To make changes.
- Delete class [Remove class]: Deletes the class, not the class system.
  
  Note
  Only commands that make sense are displayed. For example, at the start of building the tree structure, the only command displayed is Add class... is displayed.
  
  Note
  The commands Add class... and Add subclass [Add subclass...]. .. [Add subclass...] call up the same dialog box.
  The dialog boxes for Edit class are also identical.
Finally, confirm with OK.

Example of creating a class structure:

In the empty field -> Context menu -> Add class...: ID "01" (already entered), enter the following under "Name (English)": "Bolts"

Context menu of "Bolts": Add subclass [Add subclass...]...: ID "01" (already entered), enter the following under "Name (English)": "Head cap bolts"

Context menu of "Bolts": Add subclass [Add subclass...]...: ID "02" (already entered), enter the following under "Name (English)": "Hexagon bolts"

Context menu of "Nuts": Add class...: ID "02" (already entered), enter under "Name (English)": "Nuts"

Context menu of "Nuts": Add subclass [Add subclass...]...: ID "01" (already entered), enter under "Name (English)": "Cap nuts"

Context menu of "Nuts": Add subclass [Add subclass...]...: ID "02" (already entered), enter under "Name (English)": "Hexagon nuts"

The result is the following view, for example:
