Configure an instance with the IDE

To configure an instance using an Object Wizard in the IDE:

1. In the IDE, open the instance you need to configure.

   • To create and configure a new instance:
     Select the template you want to use, and derive an instance from it. Then, open the instance. See Create an instance for additional information.

   • To change the configuration of an existing instance:
     Select the instance you want to use and open it. See Create an instance for additional information.

2. Start at the top of the Choices and Options pane. Either select a Choice from the first Choice Group, or select/deselect the first Option as needed to match the physical asset you are modeling. Depending on the selections you make, attributes associated with the Choice or Option may appear in the Attributes pane.

   • If you change from the default Choice, the override is indicated by an X and the override is shown in bold type.

   • If you change the default state of an Option (selected or not selected), the override is indicated by an X.

   • You can restore a default setting by clearing the X.

3. If an associated attribute contains configurable settings, these are listed in the Settings pane. Overrides are also indicated by an X next to the changed setting and are indicated by bold type.

   

4. Continue sequentially down the list of Choices and Options.

5. Save and close the instance, and then deploy it.
