Object types #

Object types enhance stereotypes and add a possibility to create more output scripts. Each object type can be connected to a specific template that ensures specific output.

Object types are connected to element types. Combination of an element type, an object type and a stereotype determines a selection of the template for the specific technology.

Each element type has a default object type with the same name.
