Creating a Diagram View

After creating a function or logical component to store your diagram view, you can then add a sheet and insert several views in it. If you want to use several sheets, you can store them in a layout.

Before you begin: Create a function or logical component to contain the diagram view.

In this example, we have created a logical component named Logical Diagram.

The scenario can also be performed in the functional category.
