Setting the Layout for a Dynamic Viewpoint

There are various possible layouts for elements in a dynamic concept diagram.

Context

A certain layout can be used as a display option for the dynamic concept diagram. No layout is active by default.

Note

Layers need to be defined in the display options for layout as Layer. Multiple concepts can be assigned to each layer (e.g. their stereotypes). Assignment must be exclusive.

You can use a certain layout for the best presentation of a viewpoint.

  •  Tree

    Arrange diagram content in a tree. This display is suited to hierarchical structures.

  •  Star

    Arrange diagram content as an undirected graph. Elements with lots of relationships below each other are moved closer together.

  •  Layer

    Arrange diagram content in horizontal layers. This display is suited to displaying interactions between various abstract layers of the model.

How to proceed

  • To set the layout of a dynamic viewpoint, select Design>Arrange>Standard Layout><Layout>.

    Diagram elements are arranged accordingly.
