The Drivetrain entity designer is supported to define a property of the entity. When the Designer tab of the working window is selected or the entity is double-clicked in the Subsystem Navigator, the entity designer is activated. The Subsystem Navigator and property window then show the sub-entity and properties, respectively. The designer consists of a ribbon menu, navigator, working window and property window as shown in the figure below. The sub-entities are created from the ribbon menu. The created entity will be shown in the navigator and the working window of designer. When the sub-entity is selected in the navigator or working window, its property is displayed in the property view.
