Globalizing a Container

You can convert a localized Container to a normal (global) Container in two ways:

   By selecting Globalize from the context menu for the element in the graphics pane or a browser (accessed via a right-click); or

   By clearing the Localization checkbox on the Container’s property dialog.

When you do this, GoldSim first checks to ensure that none of the elements in the Container will conflict with (i.e., have the same name as) other elements in the scope into which the Container's contents will be placed when it was globalized. If it finds a conflict, it will not globalize the Container, and will issue a warning message. You will not be able to globalize the Container until all of the conflicts are eliminated (i.e., until all conflicting elements are renamed).
