Issue 1745:  Configuration module: ProductRootToComponent - Relationship (pdm-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Revision
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: D)	In the Configuration module, the ProductRootToComponent-Relationship should be changed to 
 run from a ProductClass to a ProductComponent. We see the need to be able to freely associate 
 ProductComponents to ProductClass definitions. Currently the ProductRootToComponent runs 
 from ProductComponents only to ProductRootClasses, therefore causing heavy limitations.This 
 relationship should also have it’s cardinality altered from currently 1:n to a more flexible m:n, 
 allowing ProductComponents to appear in many ProductClasses, and to associate many 
 ProductComponents to a ProductClass, which is how it is used by many of our customers 
 especially from the automotive section.
