This means that you haven't defined the type of the Property.  If you
double-click a Property, you will see an element called DataType.  This
DataType is a reference to another type defined in your IDL.  Currently, we
only support PredefinedTypes like int, bool, string etc.  So you need to
open up the PredefinedTypes folder in your model and create a reference to
one of the PredefinedTypes inside the Property.

Please take a look at %COSMIC_ROOT%\examples\RobotAssembly.xme for an
example of how to create MPC elements in your model.  You also need to make
sure that Perl is installed and is in your PATH.
