Finding an object symbol in the diagram

You can locate any object with a symbol in a diagram or among several diagrams using Find in Diagram (or, for an RQM, Find in Document View). Objects without graphical symbol such as domains cannot be found in the diagram.

If the object has only one symbol, the appropriate diagram is opened with the object symbol centered. If the object has several symbols, a dialog box opens to allow you to select one.

This feature can be very useful if you are looking for the target object of shortcut symbols, as you can access the target object from the shortcut property sheet and then locate the target object in the diagram.

Find in Diagram (or Find in Document View) is available from:

• The Model Explorer
• The Modeling Result List
• The object property sheet dropdown menu
• An objects list

To find an object symbol from the Model Explorer:

1. Right-click an object in the Model Explorer and select Find in Diagram (or Find in Document View) from the contextual menu.

To find an object symbol in the diagram from the Modeling Result List:

1. Right-click an object in the Modeling Result List and select Find in Diagram (or Find in Document View) from the contextual menu.

To find an object symbol in the diagram from its property sheet:

1. Open an object property sheet and select Find in Diagram (or Find in Document View) from the dropdown menu at the bottom-left corner.

To find an object symbol in the diagram from an objects list:

1. From an objects list, select an object in the list and click the Find Symbol in Diagram tool in the list toolbar.
