Unharden Object Names

If you used the Name Hardening Wizard to set the names of selected object types or object instances (or both) in order to remove inheritance, you can unharden the names of those selected object types and object instances using the Name Hardening Wizard as well. When you unharden an object name, the same name you used in the hardening process remains, however, once the unharden process is complete, you will have the ability to edit or reset that name (editing or resetting of hardened names is not allowed).

Note: Unhardening an object name will not automatically restore inheritance, it only allows the names to be reset or changed.

To unharden object names

1. Click Manage Name Hardening on the Actions menu.

   The Name Hardening Wizard opens.

2. Click Type Selection.

   The Type Selection page opens.

3. Select the object types that you want to unharden, then click Object Selection.

   The Object Selection page opens.

4. Select the model objects that you want to unharden, then click Action.

   The Action page opens.

5. Select the check box for each item for which you want to unharden the names, then click Finish.

   The name for each object that you selected is unhardened, and the Name Hardening Wizard closes.
