Navigating to an Element in the Graph

You can navigate directly to the start element or narrow the list of elements in the graph in the Diagram Content area to find certain elements.

Context

You can use the Go to>Start Element context menu command to jump to the start element in the graph that should be moved to the visible area.

Any elements in the analysis graph are listed in the Diagram Content area and can be accessed there.

You can restrict this list in order to find certain elements more quickly. The filter function is not case-sensitive.

An element that is selected in the list is marked in the graph but not moved to the visible area.

You can use the Trace source and target nodes toggle command to highlight predecessors and successors of the selected element in color.

How to proceed

  1. To see diagram content as a list, activate View>Document Views>Diagram Content.

    The Diagram Content area is shown to the left in the diagram.

  2. To group the diagram elements according to stereotype, activate the Grouping check box below the list.

  3. To restrict the display of nodes in this list, enter a name component into the Filter field.

    The list is restricted to the nodes that contain the name component. The graph display is not influenced by this.

  4. To mark an element in the graph and move it to the visible area, select the Go to selection in graphs context menu command.
