The Link Model Source Wizard

If you want to simply match existing objects in two models, creating a link between the objects, use the Link Model Source tool. Unlike the Add Model Source, Derive Model, and Sync with Model Source features, the Link Model Source tool creates no new objects in the target model. However, you can maintain or update linked objects using the Sync with Model Source tool.

To link your current model to a source model, choose the Design Layers, Link Model Source option on the Actions menu. The wizard presents all the options you need for selecting a source model and creating the links.

Regardless of which method you choose to build a design layer hierarchy, the ability to link models and synchronize changes between models is critical.
