permet de rapidement sélectionner les éléments Design de la MDB courante, que l’on
souhaite isoler pour leur affichage, pour les mettre en évidence (couleur), les supprimer, etc
../.. .
Cette fonction demande de stocker dans une variable tableau les objets à travailler. Il est
donc nécessaire de connaître la commande PML de mise en variable VAR.

Also to create component in PARAGON, we should take care about

And use data with their default values set to a minimum
A data value can be ?????XXXXX!!!!!!!

Then by default any catalogue component will be defined with 3 or 4 levels of representation
