    Details tab
    1. Select a Mimic from the drop-down list to associate with this object type.

    Mimic Card tab Mimic fields represent animation sources within a mimic. For example, @Flow@ and @OpenClose@ are mimic fields for displaying data for the Suction Value object type.

The selected mimic is assigned to the object type and their objects. You can choose to override and assign a different mimic for a particular object.
