Identifying which object association to use for a Modeler item link or relationship (automation interface)
Each item link type in a model is represented through an object association type in the Modeler Meta Model.
A Modeler item can be linked to other items in the model through ownership or links. Links can be created through the Links Editor and through the Items tab of an item's Property Pages. In addition, links can be created, for example, by selecting a type for an Attribute.
You can use the TellMe utility to quickly identify the name of a Modeler link's associated object association. For more information about the TellMe utility, click here
