Chapter 8 Managing Objects

Creating an object from the Model Explorer tree view

You can create objects from the Model Explorer tree view. Link objects can be created from the Model Explorer only if you have previously defined source and destination objects in your diagram.

Steps To create an object from the Model Explorer tree view:

  1. Right-click a model, package or an object category in the Model Explorer tree view.
  2. Select New→object type from the contextual menu.

    The object property sheet is displayed.
  3. Type an object name and an object code.
  4. (For link objects only), select a source and a destination object.
  5. Click OK.

    The object node is displayed under its corresponding category in the Model Explorer tree view.

    Note   Associated symbol in diagram
    By default, when you create an object from the Model Explorer, it does not have a symbol. You can create a symbol for the newly created object by pressing the shift key and dragging and dropping the node into the diagram window.
