Connect Technical Class to Design Object/Design Part

Explanation

This activity is used to add a technical class to or modify the technical class of a design object or design part. The technical class can be connected to the design object or design part class and become applicable for a design object or design part created from those classes, or it can be connected directly to a design object or design part. The latter is the case in this activity.

• A design object or design part should exist.

System Effects
