Context Toolbars

Context Toolbar for a Single Component in the Diagram

This context toolbar appears when a single component is selected in the diagram. This toolbar displays more or less options, depending on the selected component, and if the component is editable. For context toolbar of state objects, see Context Toolbar for a Single State Object in the Diagram.

	Edit Component's Modelica Parameters Edits the Modelica parameters of the selected component. See Displaying and Editing Modelica Parameters.
	Show Component Instance Shows the instantiated class of the selected component. See Showing Components.
	Show Class Definition Shows the class definition of the selected component. See Showing Class Definition.
	Flip the Object Horizontally See Flyout for Flipping and Rotating Objects.
	Documentation Editor Allows to display, edit or create the documentation of the activated class. See Displaying, Adding, or Editing Documentation.

Context Toolbar for a Connector in the Diagram

This context toolbar appears when a connector is selected in the diagram.

Important: To be able to select connectors in the diagram, you must activate the option Components' ports can be selected from Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Systems Modeling and Execution > Dymola Behavior Modeling , the Editor tab, the Connection group. The option is by default cleared.

	Start Connection Creates a connection between two components. See Creating a Standard Connection.
	Edit Modelica Parameters Edits the Modelica parameters of the selected component or class. See Displaying and Editing Modelica Parameters.
	Show Class Definition Shows the class definition of the selected component. See Showing Class Definition.

This context toolbar appears when a single state object is selected in the diagram.

	Local State Creates a local state. See Creating and Simulating a Simple State Machine.
	Transition Creates a transition between two states. See Creating and Simulating a Simple State Machine.
	Edit Component's Modelica Parameters Edits the Modelica parameters of the selected component. See Displaying and Editing Modelica Parameters.
	Show Component Instance Shows the instantiated class of the selected component. See Showing Components.
	Show Class Definition Shows the class definition of the selected component. See Showing Class Definition.
	Flip the Object Horizontally See Flyout for Flipping and Rotating Objects.
	Documentation Editor Allows to display, edit or create the documentation of the activated class. See Displaying, Adding, or Editing Documentation.

This context toolbar appears when a several components are multiselected in the diagram.

	Align Left See Flyout for Aligning Objects.
	Distribute Horizontally See Flyout for Distributing Objects.
	Same Width See Flyout for Resizing Objects.
	Flip the Object Horizontally See Flyout for Flipping and Rotating Objects.

Context Toolbar for an Animated 3D Shape

This context toolbar appears when an animated 3D shape is selected.

	Show/Hide Trace Shows/hides the trace for the selected object Shows/hides the trace for the selected object See Managing a 3D Animation.
	Follow Shape Focuses the 3D view on the selected component Focuses the 3D view on the selected component See Managing a 3D Animation.
	Hide See Flyout for Hiding Objects or Making Objects Transparent.
	Reset All Resets all the view properties for all objects Resets all the view properties for all objects See Managing a 3D Animation.
	Show in Variable Browser Show the corresponding node in Variable Browser Show the corresponding node in Variable Browser See Managing a 3D Animation.

Flyout for Flipping and Rotating Objects

	Horizontal Flip Flips the object horizontally. See Moving, Resizing, Flipping, and Rotating Components.
	Vertical Flip Flips the object vertically. See Moving, Resizing, Flipping, and Rotating Components.
	Rotate 90 Rotates the object counterclockwise by 90 degrees. See Moving, Resizing, Flipping, and Rotating Components.
	Rotate -90 Rotates the object clockwise by 90 degrees. See Moving, Resizing, Flipping, and Rotating Components.

Flyout for Aligning Objects

	Align Left Aligns components to the left. Select the components to be aligned to the left. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.
	Align Right Aligns components to the right. Select the components to be aligned to the right. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.
	Align Center Aligns instances in the center. Select the components to be vertically centered. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.
	Align Top Aligns components along the upper component. Select the components to be aligned along with the upmost component. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.
	Align Bottom Aligns components along with the lower component. Select the components to be aligned with the lower component. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.
	Align Middle Aligns components in the middle. Select the components to be aligned in the middle. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.

Flyout for Distributing Objects

	Distribute Horizontally Creates horizontally an equivalent space between the instances. Select the components to distribute horizontally the same distance between them. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.
	Distribute Vertically Creates vertically an equivalent space between the instances. Select the components to distribute vertically the same distance between them. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.

Flyout for Resizing Objects

	Same Width Resizes the components to the same width. The width of the first element of your selection is applied to the other selected components. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.
	Same Height Resizes the components to the same height. The height of the first element of your selection is applied to the other selected components. See Aligning, Distributing, and Resizing Components.

Flyout for Hiding Objects or Making Objects Transparent

	Hide Hides the selected object Hides the selected object See Managing a 3D Animation.
	Transparency Activates/deactivates transparency for the selected object Activates/deactivates transparency for the selected object See Managing a 3D Animation.
