Classification

How to Suppress the Inheritance of Attributes

 

What to do:

To work through this example, you must have completed the examples Create a Class and Assign Attributes to a Class.
By suppressing the attribute inheritance , the attribute is deleted from the level below. Thus suppressed attributes in the lower levels are also deleted. This is not re-created when the suppression on the higher level is reset.
 

In our class hierarchy example, the following hierarchy (structure) must be defined:

Select Start > Classification > Classes.
The Classes mask is opened.
Find the class CLS-1100 Wood screws.

Activate the Class List tab.
The classification list is opened. On the right-hand side of this list, the KF and L attribute fields are displayed. (You may have to enlarge the list view or scroll to the right.). The L attribute has been inherited from the CLS-1000 Bolts class to the CLS-1100 Wood screws subclass.

 
Click on the Attributes tab.
Select the data record with the Length attribute and click .
Select the checkbox in the Suppressed column.
The field name Suppressed is usually not displayed completely (Sup...). You can display the whole name by enlarging the column size.
The checkbox has three modi: inactive (), active () and empty (). Empty corresponds to the inactive mode.
To save the entry click .
Confirm the following query with YES.

Click on the Class List tab.
In the Classification list only the attribute column KF is still displayed. The attribute column L of the superclass is suppressed.
