Creating or Copying an Implementation

To create/copy an implementation, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the implementation editor of a component or project.
  2. To add a new implementation, do the following:

    1. In the Implementation menu, select Add.

      A new implementation is created. All elements have a default implementation. The implementation name is highlighted for editing.

    2. Edit the name and press <Return>.

  3. To copy an existing implementation, do the following:

    1. In the Implementation pane, select the implementation you want to copy.

    2. In the Implementation menu, point to Copy and select Flat.

      The selected implementation is copied, i.e. the newly created implementation contains the same values. If there are references to other implementations, they are copied as well.

      The implementation name is highlighted for editing.

    3. Edit the name and press <Return>.

  4. To copy an existing implementation recursively, do the following:

    Note

    This process works only for local variables.

    1. In the Implementation pane, select the implementation you want to copy.

    2. In the Implementation menu, point to Copy and select Recursive.

      An input window opens.

    3. Enter a prefix for the names of the copied implementations and click OK.

      The selected implementation is copied, and recursive copies are made of all referenced implementations, i.e. the copies of those implementations are also recursive. The new implementation has references to the copies of the referenced implementations.

      The implementation name is highlighted for editing.

    4. Edit the name and press <Return>.
