Create the necessary arrays to register component 3, property 7, material 8, set 12 and group 14:

*createstringarray 5 "component" "property" "material" "set" "group";
*createarray 5 3 7 8 12 14;

Register the entities with connectors 1-10:

*createmark connectors 1 1-10;
*CE_FE_RegisterSharedEntitiesByMark 1 1 5 1 5;
