6. Assigning objects to events
Now we must assign the Order object to the event that creates it. We assign an object to an event within the event’s definition.
1 Go back to the IDEF3 Process Flow diagram. Double-click the Order Received event symbol to open its Definition dialog. Select the Sim Event tab.
2 Toggle ‘off’ the Inherit (Generate) property check box.
3 In the Generated Entities property field, select the Choices button. The Select and Drag dialog will appear to reveal the IDEF3 Objects that are available.
4 Highlight the Order IDEF3 Object, and then and drag it into the Generated Entities property box.
