Chapter 11 Linking and Synchronizing Models

The Generation Links Viewer interface

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:

Pane	Linked object icon	Parent hierarchy icon
Source (green)
Target (red)
