An EiffelBuild object is a representation of a Vision2 component and its properties. When developing with EiffelBuild, you manipulate objects to build the desired interface.
Each object type has a different set of properties that may be manipulated, and these correspond directly to the properties available within the [[EiffelVision Introduction|EiffelVision2]] type. There is property which is specific to an EiffelBuild object, '''Name''' which is used for your identification purposes and as the attribute name in the generated code.

==Pick and Drop==
The pick and drop mechanism is one of Eiffel Software 's exclusive technologies and is provided by [[EiffelVision Introduction|EiffelVision2]] . In EiffelBuild, it allows you to easily send data from a component of the interface to another.

You can '''Pick''' a reference to a '''development object''', such as an object or component with a single click of the '''right''' mouse button. Then as you start moving the mouse around - not pressing any of its buttons - a pebble tracks the cursor position, and a line continuously connects the pebble to the object's original position.

This entry is used as the name of the constants class generated by EiffelBuild to define all [[Constants|constants]] contained in your project. Two classes are actually generated from this name, an implementation and an interface class. For example, if you specify a name "constants", two classes, <eiffel>CONSTANTS_IMP</eiffel> and <eiffel>CONSTANTS</eiffel> (inheriting from <eiffel>CONSTANTS_IMP</eiffel>) are generated, and all other classes generated by EiffelBuild, inherit <eiffel>CONSTANTS</eiffel> for access to these constants.
