Create a new MetaClass

A new MetaClass has to be created as a derivative (child) from another class (parent). This can easily be done in the Class Browser control by

1. Navigate to the favoured parent MetaClass in the Class Browser
2. Create a new child MetaClass with Derive new object from the context menu
   Derive new object
3. Edit name and description, either
   • in the Class Browser
   • by opening and connecting the new MetaClass to the Object Editor control
4. Save the object with Ctrl+S

The system creates a new instance of CUSTOMMETACLASS and sets the Inherit property with the parent MetaClass. A custom MetaClass is consequently also an instance of CUSTOMMETACLASS and can be treated as a Content Object.
