Adding Models to a Project Diagram

Complement a project diagram by adding models whose links you want to view.

Drag and drop one or more models from the file system to the Browser or from the Browser to the project diagram (see "Adding existing model and file documents to a project" in the Project and Framework Matrices chapter of the Core Features Guide), or
Click the Add Project Document tool in the Palette, click in the diagram to open a standard Open dialog box, browse to and select one or more models in your file system, and then click Open (see "Creating a project" in the Project and Framework Matrices chapter of the Core Features Guide).

In order to maximize the convenience of the project as a container, you should create (or place) all the associated models inside the project directory. However, you can also link to files outside the project directory. Such files are listed under the project node in the Browser, but display small icons on their symbol to indicate that they are located outside the project folder. You can, at any time, right-click a model in the Browser or its symbol in the diagram, and select Move to Project Directory to move it inside the project.

Note: We recommend that your models are open when you add them to a project in order to guarantee that their dependency links are correctly rebuilt.
