Mark the Can be subtyped check box, to allow this object type to be subtyped by
other object types. If this box is unmarked, no subtypes are allowed. The Subtype
Info area displays the names of the subtypes having inherited characteristics from
this object type.
A subtype inherits aspects and type rules of the supertype, and can specify
additional aspects and type rules.
The hierarchical relation between supertype and subtype is not visualized in the tree
structure. The relation is only shown on the Type Info tab, and with an additional
Super Type Reference aspect that is added on the subtype.
Create Info Tab
The Create Info tab displays information about the creation of the object type
instance. It is available on the Object Type Definition, Object Type Reference and
Super Type Reference aspects.
Subtyping of composite object types is not supported.
