Metadevice Editor Messages

The Metadevice Editor has a message line at the bottom of the window that displays information about objects and actions. There are two types of feedback displayed:

• When you are pointing the cursor at an object, the message line has the following format:

  object_type object_name: attribute=value,...

• When you are dragging an object that is not yet populated, the message line has the form:

  Drop requirement comp_type into new_object_type new_object_name

  Once the object is sufficiently populated, the message line has the form:

  Drop comp_type into new_object_type new_object_name or commit
