Relating a master shape to a Teamcenter object type
In a typeMaps entry, a typeMap tag relates the master shape to a Teamcenter object type.
<typeMaps>
<typeMap BaseFoundationClass="par_cl" SubClassName="mstr_sc" default="t_f"/>
...
</typeMaps>
Note: You can enter any number of typeMap tags, e.g. to map two subclasses to the same master shape.
BaseFoundationClass
Replace par_cl with the parent class of the object type represented by the master shape.
| Master shape | BaseFoundationClass |
|---|---|
| Function (in FM_Diagram_Stencil.vsx) | Item |
| LogicalBlock (in LM_Diagram_Stencil.vsx) | Item |
| TraceLink | FND_TraceLink |
| Connection | PSConnection |
| InternalPort | Interfaces |
| Item | Item |
| ItemRevision | ItemRevision |
| Bi-Directional Port | Interfaces |
| Input Port | Interfaces |
| Output Port | Interfaces |
| Container | Item |
SubClassName
Replace mstr_sc with the subclass of the object type represented by the master shape.
| Master shape | SubClassName (FunctionalModeling) | SubClassName (LogicalModeling) |
|---|---|---|
| Function / LogicalBlock | Functionality | Fnd0LogicalBlock |
| TraceLink | Not required | Not required |
| Connection | Network | Fnd0LogicConn |
| InternalPort | Network_Port / Connection_Terminal | Fnd0LogicIntrfce |
| Item | Requirement, Paragraph | Requirement, Paragraph |
| ItemRevision | FunctionalityRevision | Fnd0LogicalBlockRevision |
| Bi-Directional / Input / Output Port | Network_Port | Fnd0LogicIntrfce |
| Container | Functionality | Fnd0LogicalBlock |
default
(Optional) Replace t_f with true if the subclass is the default object type for the master shape; otherwise false or delete the parameter.
Caution: Only one typeMap tag per subclass can contain default="true". If no typeMap tag for a subclass contains default="true", objects are not created in the structure when you drop master shapes into the drawing pane.
A typeMaps entry also contains: DiagramShapeResolverPropertyMaps, createDescriptorPropertyMaps, textPropertyMaps.
