Assign Components to a Feature

Every feature needs at least one component assignment to be valid and installable. In order to create a relation between a features and components, users have to select the component and establish a relation from that component to the desired feature.

 

From the FEATURES view, this may be triggered by a right-click on any of the displayed components. Selecting Assign to feature... from the displayed context menu opens the Select Feature dialog. In order to quickly copy a component assignment from one feature to another, drag the required component(s) and drop it/them into the target feature. The dragged components will immediately be assigned to the new features.

 

The drag and drop technique has the following limitations:
 

Dropping is possible if at least one of the dragged components does not already belong to the target feature

Dragging and dropping is possible if the current selection consist of one or more components. If a multi-selection is mixed of both feature(s) and component(s), dragging is disabled.

Note:

The old assignment of the dragged component is not removed. Dropping components to features creates new assignments only.
