Specifying associated model item types and roles to include for extracted items and diagrams (Publisher)
You can add child roles to a model item type, and add child types to a child role.
Important: When using a child role with no child types, you can only extract properties that are common to all the child types that can be extracted through that child role.
To add a child role to a model item type:
1. In the Document Structure pane, select the parent item.
2. Click the
Add Modeler Child Role Section button.
3. From the selection dialog, select the child role you want to add, and then click OK.
If you want to use a Private role or a custom role that is created through a reference Tag Definition, select the Private or Tag Definition check box as required.
4. Type the Title Text of the new child role, and then press the
Enter key.
5. If you want the child role to be repeated, set the Repeat Section property to Repeat Section.
6. If you want to ensure that no duplicate items or diagrams are extracted through the child role, set the Duplicates property to Don't Allow.
7. Set up other properties of the child role as required.
