Objects and Object Types¶

Creating an Object

In Project, click the folder or object in which to create the object.
Click , or right-click > New, and select the desired object type: a new derived object appears in Project.

From the Types

Drag an object type from Types into Project inside the folder or object in which to create the object: a new derived object appears in Project.

Note

each graphical object (see Graphical objects) which is created directly inside the default UI folder or inside its subfolder, is automatically configured as an object type.

Creating an Object Type

Drag an existing object from Project into a folder in Types:

a new object type is created
the new type also appears in the same folder in Project, identified by the “(type)” suffix
the original object automatically becomes an instance of the new type.
