	/// Adding an attribute to an Instance Specification/Slot

	//the classifier

	IRPClass class1 = pkg1.addClass("TestClass");

	IRPAttribute att1 = class1.addAttribute("Att1");

	// the instance spec

	IRPInstanceSpecification spec1 = (IRPInstanceSpecification)pkg1.addNewAggr("InstanceSpecification", "Blah");

	// set the instance spec classifier

	spec1.setClassifier(class1);

	// create an instance slot

	IRPInstanceSlot slot1 = (IRPInstanceSlot)spec1.addNewAggr("InstanceSlot", "Slot1");

	// set the slot attribute

	slot1.setSlotProperty(att1);

	

	/// Adding an association to an Instance Specification/Slot

	IRPPackage pkg2 = (IRPPackage)app.activeProject().addPackage("InstanceSlotWithAssociation");

	//the classifier(s)

	IRPClass class2 = pkg2.addClass("Class2");

	IRPClass class3 = pkg2.addClass("Class3");

	IRPRelation assoc = class2.addRelation("Class3", "InstanceSlotWithAssociation", "itsClass3", "Association", "1", "itsClass2", "Association", "1", "test");

	// the instance spec

	IRPInstanceSpecification spec2 = (IRPInstanceSpecification)pkg2.addNewAggr("InstanceSpecification", "Blah");

	// set an instance spec classifier

	spec2.setClassifier(class2);

	// create an instance slot

	IRPInstanceSlot slot2 = (IRPInstanceSlot)spec2.addNewAggr("InstanceSlot", "Slot2");

	// set the slot association

	slot2.setSlotProperty(assoc);
