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.

	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.
