Whatever the type of generation links you want to visualize, the Generation Links Viewer dialog box is divided in three parts:
The current model owns the generation links details.
-
The Source pane - which is on the left-hand side, and displays the structure of the source model
-
The Target pane - which is on the right-hand side, and displays the structure of the target model(s)
-
The Generation Links pane – shows the details of the generation link
Links and Symbols
A non-editable link line is drawn between linked objects. A link extends from the source pane to the target pane and passes through an area between the two panes. If you click a link:
-
In the Source pane – you open the property sheet of the source object.
-
In the Target pane – you open the property sheet of the target object.
-
In the middle area - you display the link details in the Generation Links pane.
A small symbol is displayed in the bottom right-hand corner of the icons and also on their respective parent hierarchy icon to ease readability:
