Managing Navigation between Parent/Children Levels

In a diagram view, you can choose to display the parent component or children components connected to them for function or logical models. The routes are reconnected when possible.

Note: The navigation through the different levels of a model is only possible with 2D representation boxes.

This task shows you how to:


Before you begin: For the purpose of this scenario:
  • Create two parent components (LogicalParent1 and LogicalParent2).
  • In the first parent component (LogicalParent1), create two children components (LogicalChildren1 and LogicalChildren2).
  • In the second parent component (LogicalParent2), create a child component (LogicalChildren3).
  • Connect LogicalChildren1 to LogicalChildren3.
  • Connect LogicalChildren2 to LogicalParent2.
  • Generate a diagram view containing the component parents and their children.

Navigate From Parent to Children Level

  1. Select the first parent component LogicalParent1.
  2. From the Diagram section of the action bar, click Go Down .
    The selected component is removed from the diagram view and replaced by its children.

  3. Select the second parent component LogicalParent2.
