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.

SubClassName

Replace mstr_sc with the subclass of the object type represented by the master shape.

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.
