Inherit Additional Parts from Design Part

Explanation

This activity is used to inherit additional parts from a design part to a design object to which the design part is connected. The design part with defined consists of parts serves as a template for the automatic creation of additional parts for the design object. Both the design part and its additional consists of parts are can be inherited by the design object provided that the Can have Additional Part class relation is set between all involved classes. If the design object has no additional parts registered to it, the automatic inheritance of the consists of parts on the design part takes place, at the time the design part is connected to the design object. If not, manual inheritance has to be performed in order to replace the existing list of additional parts with the design part consists of parts structure.

Prerequisites

System Effects
