A child inherits the transformations (move, rotate, scale) applied to the parent,
but the child's transformations have no effect on the parent. If you want the
child not to inherit the transforms, use the
Link Inheritance (Selected) Utility
on page 3372 or use the controls found in Link Info on page 3500 in the Hierarchy
panel.
You can also create hierarchical linkages using Schematic View on page 7407.
Use the Connect button on the Schematic View toolbar to create hierarchical
linkages between nodes.
Procedures
To link two objects:
1
Click Select and Link.
2 Drag a line from an object (the child) to any other object (the parent).
NOTE You do not need to select the child object first.
Unlink Selection
Main toolbar > Unlink Selection
Use the Unlink Selection button to remove the
hierarchical relationship on
page 8002 between two objects.
Unlink Selection detaches a child object from its parent object.
TIP You can also link and unlink hierarchies in Schematic View on page 7411.
Procedures
