Building Object Types
488 3BDS011222-510 B
So far the object type is empty. We can already now create an instance of the object
type, but to make the object type more useful we first want to configure its aspects.
There are two ways to configure which aspects an instance will get. Either with
preconfigured aspects or by creating empty new aspects.
• Preconfigured aspects are described using the Aspect Control tab.
These aspects are placed on the object type.
• New empty aspects are described using the Category Control tab.
These aspects are not available on the object type, only on the instances.
Our next step is to add the preconfigured aspects to the object type:
3. To add an aspect to the object type, select the object Cell Information object
type and make a new aspect of the aspect category Operating Manual and
configure it.
4. Add and configure a General Properties aspect and a File Viewer aspect.
Object Type Type Reference A reference to the type of the Cell
Information object. Since it is an
object type, it is a reference to an
predefined object type “Object Type”.
Cell Information Type Definition The definition aspect for the Cell
Information object type. It is in this
aspect most configuration work is
done.
