Showing the Diagram Layer of a Component

You can show the diagram layer of a component instead of the icon layer.

The Show Diagram command displays the diagram inside the selected component without changing the rest of the diagram. Compare with the Show Component Instance command, that command changes the diagram to only display the diagram layer of the selected component.

Note: The diagram displayed by Show Diagram is not stored in the model.

  1. From the diagram, or from the Component Browser, right-click a component and select Show Diagram.
    The diagram layer of the object appears, instead of the icon layer.
  2. To display the icon layer again, right-click the component and select Show Diagram.
    The icon layer of the component appears.
