Inherit Additional Parts from Design Part
Explanation
This activity is used to inherit additional parts to a design object from the
connected design part. The design part with defined consists of parts serves as
a template for creating additional parts for the design object. Both the design
part and its additional consists of parts 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's additional part registry is empty,
the inheritance of the consists of parts on the design part takes place
automatically, at the point of design part connection to the design object. In
any other instance, the inheritance option can be performed manually in order to
replace the existing list of additional parts with the design part consists of
parts structure.
Prerequisites
- A design part consists of structure must exist.
- A connection must be established between the design object and a design
part.
- The object class should have class relations defined such that the
design part can be a design part for the design object and the additional
parts and design part can be additional parts for the design object.
System Effects
Consists of parts inherited from the design part are connected as additional
parts. If a valid project connection exists, these additional parts are
automatically added as ERMPL demands.

Explorer.
- Search for the design object to which you want to inherit additional
parts.
- In the Design Part field, enter the design part which
has consists of parts, to connect to the object. Use the List of
Values to select a suitable design part.
- Right-click and click Inherit Additional Parts
from Design Part. The
Inherit Additional Parts dialog box opens. A warning message appears warning you that the additional parts on the
