Auto Create Linked Objects

How do I open Auto Create Linked Objects?
  1. Use either of the two methods:
    • In
      Preview
      , expand
      Controllers
      , expand the controller object, right-click a task or program object, then click
      Add New
      .
    • In
      Class View
      , expand
      Controllers
      , right-click a controller project, then click
      Add New
      .
  2. In the
    Object Configuration Wizard
    , expand the library categories to display the software libraries registered in the ACM database.
  3. Select the library object to add to the selected task or program, then select
    Next
    .
  4. If the software object depends on other linked library objects, select the
    Linked Libraries
     tab, then select
    Auto Create Linked Objects
    .
Use
Auto Create Linked Objects
 to add objects linked by a library object to a project, rather than manually adding them to the project one at a time.
Hardware modules cannot be Auto Created but can still be linked to if they exist in the project.
Column
Description
Link Name
Displays the name of the link in the object being added to the project.
Auto Create Linked Objects
 uses the link name to find a matching library.
Library
Displays the name and version of a library that matches the link name. The latest version of the library is always used if the version was not specified.
If an exact library match cannot be found, the
Library
 column displays "No unique library matches link criteria". The
Action
 field is locked to
Ignore
.
Action
Sets the action that
Auto Create Linked Objects
 should take for the linked library:
  • Create New
    : Creates a library object with the parameters from the matched library object.
  • Use Existing
    : Uses the matched library object.
  • Ignore
    : Does not create or use the linked library object. Mandatory linked libraries cannot be set to
    Ignore
    .
Select multiple linked objects and use the action list to set the action to these objects.
Object Name
Browse for an existing object name or set the auto created library object name. Disabled if the library object is parameterized. When an exact match library is found, the match icon displays beside the object name.
Task Name
Assigns the auto-created library object to a task. Create a task by selecting <
Add New...
>. Disabled if
Action
 is set to
Use Existing
 or
Ignore
.
Select multiple auto-created library objects and use the task name list to assign these objects to one task.
Program Name
Assigns the auto-created library object to a program. Create a program by selecting <
Add New...
>. Disabled if
Action
 is set to
Use Existing
 or
Ignore
.
Select multiple auto-created library objects and use the program name list to assign these objects to one program. The program name list is disabled if these objects are unassigned.
