This dialog box is used to choose the parent entity of a subtype entity by selecting the desired entity in a list.

Indeed, a subtype entity must have a parent entity: one considers that if the link is to be deleted, it is to change the parent entity. The link will only be deleted after the selection of another valid parent entity in the displayed list.

Lists

Available entities

List of available entities which can be selected as parent entities.

This list contains, among other items, the parent entity which is initially the entity selected by default.

The choice of the new parent entity is made by clicking the desired entity.

Double-click an item in the list to select it and to activate the validation button.

Single-selection list.

Buttons

Select (validation)

This button validates the dialog box in the following way:

• • If the selected entity is the current parent entity, no action is required except to close the box. Otherwise, the new parent entity must be valid, i.e. it must belong to all the application areas which the subtype entity belongs to.

  • Otherwise, an error message is displayed and you must choose another parent entity. If the selected entity is a valid entity, then it actually becomes the new parent entity of the subtype entity. The dialog box can then be closed. The link with the previous parent entity is deleted and the new link is automatically traced if its ends are designed.

Cancel

This button closes the dialog box without any specific processing.

If a parent entity exists, it still remains the parent entity of the subtype entity.

Keyboard shortcut: Esc.
