Chapter 8 Using Object Languages

Changing the object language of an OOM

You can change the object language for an OOM, defining the new object language as being local to the model or as being linked to the model.

ϖTo change the object language of an OOM:

1 Open an OOM.

2 Select Language➤ Change Current Object Language. The Change Object Language window appears.

3 Select a new object language from the Object Language dropdown listbox in the New groupbox.

4Select the Link radio button if you want the new object language to be the general object language available for all models.

or

Select the Local to the model radio button if you want the new object language properties to apply only to the current model.

The chosen object language becomes the new one for the current model.

Creating a new object language

You can create a new set of object language properties and associate them to an OOM.

ϖTo create a new object language:

1 Open an OOM.

2 Select Tools➤ Resources➤ Object Languages.
