Object occurrence

Graphical representation of an object definition.

It is used to represent objects in models.

With an occurrence copy several occurrences of an object can be created. These can differ within a model and/or may be different in different models, that is, size, color and attribute placements can be set individually and thus may be different.

If the placed text attributes of an occurrence are changed, the changes are applied to all occurrences at which the text attribute has also been placed. For example , if the name an object is changed, the change is displayed for all occurrences.
