Chapter 11 Linking and Synchronizing Models


Linking objects with related diagrams

The related diagram feature is used to detail the behavior and define the implementation of objects into other diagrams. You can link an object to a diagram of another model type when you need to highlight a specific aspect of implementation.

For example, you can create the list of physical diagrams related to CDM entities. This allows you to follow the implementation process of entities.

For more information on related diagrams, see "Defining related diagrams" in the Diagrams and Symbols chapter.

A Related Objects sub-tab is displayed in the Dependencies tab of the related diagram, it displays the list of objects that use the current diagram for implementation purpose. You can click the Impact Analysis button and use the dependencies graph to further analyze the impact of changes in the current diagram:
