Reference Patterns
A reference pattern uses an existing pattern as a guide for the placement of the new pattern members. Consequently, if the pattern type is PRO_GENPAT_REF_DRIVEN, the element tree requires only that you specify the type of the reference pattern.
Figure 50. Element Tree for a Reference Pattern
The element with identifier PRO_E_GENPAT_REF specifies the type of pattern to be created. The valid values are as follows:
• PRO_PAT_FEATURE—Use feature pattern references.
• PRO_PAT_GROUP—Use group pattern references.
• PRO_PAT_BOTH—Use feature and group pattern references.
