Creating associations for drawing objects

After you attach drawing objects to Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities records, you can associate the drawing objects with other Maximo Real Estate and Facilities records. For example, in the default application definition, you attach boundary objects that represent rooms in a floor to space records. You might associate the attached space records with a Business Development organization record.
