Chapter 8 Shortcuts and Object Replications
Shortcuts are visible in both the Browser and the diagram window.
In the Browser, a shortcut is treated as a regular object, except that its symbol carries a small arrow in its bottom left corner. In the example below, the shortcut to Class C appears under the Class folder, sorted alphabetically among the other classes that are native to the model:
In a diagram, the symbol of a shortcut is identical to the symbol of a regular object except that it carries a small arrow in its bottom left corner.
If the target model is closed, only the name of the target model will be displayed. No other properties or sub-objects will be available:
| Target model | Description | Default display Symbol |
|---|---|---|
| Opened | Shortcut symbols displays target object name, and target object attributes | 
|
| Closed | Simplified shortcut symbol with name, identical size but no attributes |
