Navigating in the Model

You can navigate in the model using the model elements' relationships and references. You can also manage bookmarks.

Relationships, references and other connections show the way in which a model's elements navigate.

If you create a model and add elements, then the structural relationships between the elements automatically create relationships you can use to navigate in the model.

Model element's references are

Use of the element itself or
Assigned elements (e.g. file attachments).

Navigation Commands

You can use the following commands for navigation:

Start>Browse>Go to>...

Go to an occurrence of this model element or elements linked with the model element in the model structure or in diagrams.

Location in Model Structure (Ctrl+M)

Find and select the unique occurrence of this element within the model structure. The position in the model's hierarchy determines the namespace and the qualified name of an element.
Location in Model Element List (Ctrl+Shift+M)

Find and select the unique occurrence of this element within the model element list. The position in the model's hierarchy determines the namespace and the qualified name of an element.
Position in the diagram structure (Ctrl+Shift+D)

Find and select the unique occurrence of this diagram in the hierarchical view of diagrams in the model content.
Process Hierarchy

Jump to the process in the process hierarchy of the model content.
Occurrences in Diagrams... (Ctrl+Enter)

Find occurrences of the element in diagrams.

Double-click on the element in a tool window to open the dialog of the same name.
Linked Elements... (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

Find other model elements that are linked to this element in the model structure or in diagrams.
<Default References>

Go to this default reference.

Show Model Element List (toggle command in theModel Structure )

Show a detailed list of the selected element's content. The model element list can only be displayed along with the model structure. If you switch to another view (e.g. Bookmarks) it will close automatically. Executing the command 'Go to>Location in Model Element List (Ctrl+Shift+M)' will automatically open this window.

Important navigation commands can be found in the respective context menu.

If the Location in Model Structure (Ctrl+M) command or the hyperlink jump does not find the required element in the Model Structure, then it is selected in the Model Element List. This concerns e.g. attributes of classes.

In the diagram editor, you can jump to the respective default reference (if it exists) using [Shift]+double-clicking. Default references are certain linked elements which, from experience, are navigated to particularly frequently.
