Change Design Object Class

Explanation

This activity is used to change the class of a design object. The class will in most cases be changed from a temporary class designation to a final class designation. Refer Parent Class in About Classes for the classes to which an object class can be changed. Previously, design objects may have been registered with with a class because design work was incomplete and the exact design object type was unknown. At this stage, the final class that the design object belongs to, has been decided.
